I don't want to pester you forever, but I need to know how to fix the location of files in gnome, so I can change things. It won't come as a shock to anyhow to know that gnome wants to assume it's always installed in Linux, or that Linux has the horrible habit of installing everything under /usr. This means that I will never find files installed under a FreeBSD port installed where they would be in a classic Linux install (which most of their docs will assume they should be). This isn't a complaint, it's quite right, and I am happy that the FreeBSD porters took this adult approach, if anything I am unhappy at the Linux folks for not doing this obvious thing (installing OUTSIDE of /usr, keeping ports OUT of /usr/bin, usr/share, etc, etc) OK, I have been pointed to a file that carries the gnome menu info, file /usr/share/applications/mozilla.dektop. I don't konw which of our gnome ports installs this file, only that x11/gnome2 doesn't list it. I looked at the FreeBSD-gnome web page lookibng for any info on file mapping, didn't find anything, so I am asking here. I want to add a bunch of browsers to the gnome file menus; can anyone point me towards a port that installs this file, or perhaps the gnome file mapping for the FreeBSD port (this is much better!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
