according to the Filesystems Hierarchy Standard 1 (FHS) Version 2.1 /sbin, /bin, and /usr are reserved for the base OS and it's dependant packages. more or less essential packages are to be built and installed in /usr/local/bin. non-essential applications and add-ons are to be installed in /opt/<package>/ (with binaries in /opt/<package>/bin). and technically you're supposed to create a seperate disk partition for /opt. hope that helps. peace, brian t h e S a d M a c h i n e . o r g On Fri, 8 Dec 2000, Jack Juil Harris, Jr. wrote: > There are plenty of good applications that are not part of "Packages" > > Where is a good place to install them? > /usr/local ? > /usr/home/ ? > /usr/local/etc ? > /usr/local/share ? > > I know I could install them anywhere but where is a "secure" place to do so. > > I dont want to have my trash all over the system. > Thanks...
