but it is architecture: any, so we can get special hurd changes in. We have two possible sceanrios: Support /usr being a real directory by default, or doing it not. Scenario: Support for a real /usr: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin: (etc etc) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/X11R6/lib Scenario: No support for a real /usr: PATH=/bin: (etc etc) LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/X11R6/lib Note that currently we don't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all, but we should. This is something we need to change anyway, so I will file a bug report. But which of the two scenarios do we want? (BTW, it would be a nice idea to try to get X into / instead /X11R6. Then we could have: PATH=/bin:/local/bin (and no LD_LIBRARY_PATH)). Thanks, Marcus
