When you say ``distribution directories,'' I presume you mean the directory hierarchy of a distribution medium, such as an ISO image (or presumably the result of ``make distribution'').

I made the original query because I wasn't equipped to do a make distribution, and I didn't have any install CD's handy. -Ben Kaduk > > Sincerely, > D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >
