Anywhere is fine. Note that if a file or directory is present under /compat/linux, then it will take precedence over a file or directory with the same name in the main filesystem. However, you can install the Linux app into /usr/local/my_linux_app/ and it will work fine as long as there isn't a /compat/linux/usr/local/my_linux_app (which there shouldn't be by default). > Thanks > > Joe -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
