Note that (application specific portions of) /usr/share are often mounted even across different types of Unix (derivates). I know of at least 4 sites where /usr/share/cups was network-mounted by both Linux and Solaris clients. That's the reason why I usually think of /usr/share as architecture indepedent and non-executable data. cu, sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
