There is quite more system configuration stuff in /etc. Consider /etc/namedb, /etc/uucp, /etc/slip and /etc/uucp. All of them are site-specific. I've once been working with Data General machines, they have been specialized to be diskless bootable. Nevertheless, they considered /etc to be machine-dependant. (But they've made /bin a symlink to /usr/bin. I'm not sure _we_ want this, however.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
