It might not be a requirement, but it is a smart thing do to. And as far as I know, the wrappers downloading binaries are creating a package out of the binaries and installing this package to make sure the files in /usr/ are registered in the packaging system. > /var is wrong.

But if the data is updated using scripts and downloaded from the web, they are not really read-only. :) Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
