Reorganise the directory structure. Simple little thing but makes so much= =20 difference to new users. I am prepared to take charge of it if desired. Details: Rearrange the filesystem to make more sense and to logically arrange=20 everything The new filesystem would be as follows /usr =3D things pertaining to users /sys =3D contains the kernels (in /sys/boot) and anything ESSENTIAL to runn= ing=20 the system /home =3D home directories /usr now has the following subdirectories /cfg =3D configuration /lib =3D libraries /bin =3D binaries /sys contains anything pertaining to the kernel or global configuration eg= =20 /sys/cfg/sudoers.cfg anyway, sorry for the long mail and it might not seem like a priority, but= =20 the directory structure is what trips up a load of new users and in order t= o=20 spread BSD I think we need to change the structure. The developers behind it would like a new CVS tree for it please as it woul= d=20 require kernel modification. Thanks for reading. --=20 Death is lighter than a flower, duty heavier than a mountain TCPA WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR COMPUTER RIGHTS : http://www.againsttcpa.com/index.shtml
