Seems sane to me, as the "unix system resourses" (such as /kernel, /dev, /bin, /etc) lives outside /usr ... Might the case be that "Unix System Resources" is an afterconstruction? Or is it just so unknown that even FOLDOC has it wrong? 1 http://ftp.sunet.se/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?query=usr -- Rasmus Kaj ------------------------ rasmus@kaj.se - http://Raditex.se/~kaj/ \ Science is what happens when preconception meets verification \----------------------------------------------------- http://Raditex.se/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
