You might like to know that Debian has some very well thought out rules about what goes where on a proper Debian box. These rules are set forth and explained in Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ . You're not expected to know all these rules, but if you ever wonder why something is where it is, this is the place to look for an reasoned explanation. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
