I have successfully used cvsup a few times now...and i am comfortable with what the base and the prefix do. My question is why would someone put things in different locations than for instance........./usr for both base and/or prefix? I have seen a few different options used both in the cvs up faq on the cvsup homepage, the handbook and also in "the complete freebsd" they all have different places listed..but not one single place is any discussion about the theory or logic behind where it is placed. This is really just a "help me understand the philosophy" question as it seems that no matter where i place my 'base' and 'prefix' paths..the cvsup will work...just trying to get a grasp on _why_ i would want it one place more than another. Thanks in advance, Aaron
