I've only seen it on Solaris systems. Seems to be their answer to having a place for optional packages. Of course, there's also a /usr/opt as well. I can't see much point in doing it. It'd have been nice if the packages/ports collections had built to /usr/opt so that /usr/local could be used for things that were local-local, instead of freebsd-local, but it's a bit late for that. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
