Shouldn't this be in /usr/doc/nightfall ? > 1) how do I make these non executable.? chmod a-x <file> > 2) how can I put the config (cfg) files in /etc/hightfall (the > package uses a confgure script, but I can't specify the config file > dir), prehaps symlinks --> how would I do this? You can definately make a symlink. For instance, supposing the program expects /usr/share/nightfall/config/*, and you wanna use /etc/nightfall/*, just install/move the config files into /etc/nightfall/, and make a symlink from /usr/share/nightfall/config -> /etc/nightfall. If you don't know how to do that, you really need to step back and bone up on Unix a bit... :) You can also mention your need to the upstream maintainer -- maybe he and you could work on enabling the configdir options (--sysconfigdir I think in autoconf). -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
