Ok. So I guess what I need is a quick lesson in "filesystem". Does that mean
equate more to a mount point. On my system, /usr is a mount point for a disk
device. /usr/local is a directory.


P.S. Thanks for your patience. I know this thread has over-stayed it's

E-mail address that you have a much deeper technical education than I.
