Is /usr/local *supposed* to be removed for some reason? I would have appreciated at least a warning, since I had placed some linux-specific software under /usr/local (/compat/linux/usr/local). Russ M. According to Russell D. Murphy Jr. (February 17, 2000): | | Unfortunately, matlab was installed under /compat/linux/usr/local; all | gone now. . .. I may try to NFS mount a matlab installation from | another machine tomorrow to see what happens. | ----- Russell D.
