Well, say we provide a /usr/share/doc -> /usr/doc symlink - couldn't those people who want to do this simply mv /usr/doc to /usr/share and put the symlink in as /usr/doc ? Presto chango they get what they want, we get what we want :> As an aside, has anyone thought about doing that? If we have the symlink like that then we can gradually move the packages over, old systems will have the actual files under /usr/doc new systems will have the files under /usr/share/doc and all programs will be migrated to use /usr/share/doc. We don't actually -have- to exchange them - do we? Jason
