I have two very vague & general questions: 1) On my linux box (no other flesh&blood users besides me; it's a laptop), I'm interested in emptying root's home directory, removing it, and making a symbolic link to my home directory, /home/kmfahey . This is for various aesthetic and convenience reasons, mostly so I'm not without my .*rc files when root, and so that 'cd' as root takes me to my home directory. Would this be a horrible mistake? (Would it be or create a security hole, or *really* confuse linux in some way?)
2) On that same linux box, I'm interested in [carefully] moving the contents of /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc , then removing /usr/doc and creating a symlink in its place to /usr/share/doc . This, also, is for various aesthetic and convenience reasons, mostly because of the FHS, and because I'd really like dhelp_parse to shut up about files in /usr/doc every time I'm apt-getting something. Would .this. be a horrible mistake? Served with a smile, -- Kerne
