* I know, but /usr was the only partition I could count on, and besides, * I don't see that putting it in /usr/local will necessarily help most * people out of the same situation since very very few think to put it * on its own partition anyway. :-) Maybe not on its own partition all by itself, but many people put it in the "all of the rest" partition and symlink it from /usr. BTW, I just realized I don't know who tells Linux apps about /compat/linux. Looking around in the source tree, I found the string "/compat/linux" hardcoded in two (!) places, /sys/i386/linux/linux_sysvec.c and linux_util.c. Is that were the apps get the stuff from? If so, we can't move it, at least not into /usr/local. (I don't think we want any more places on the system that has "/usr/local" hardcoded....) Satoshi
