I don't see why "dumping" it in /usr/local is any worse than Linux "dumping" it in /usr. As for home-grown or self-ported apps, they belong in ~/bin. Anyone who has had to use a Unix system w/o the root password knows this. As a sysadmin I've had to beat this into a number of luser's heads over the years. *I* keep my personal stuff in ~/bin, and I'm the only user on most of my FreeBSD systems. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
