Jeff,

This might seem rather blunt/rude but honestly I don't foresee the FreeB=
SD  =

project integrating with the FHS. The hier(7) layout has been a lot of  =

work and it's something the project really strives to standardize on. As=
 a  =

FreeBSD user, we've been used to "porting" applications to not only run =
on  =

FreeBSD but also adhere properly to the hier(7) structure. But if the FH=
S  =

wants to adopt hier(7) we won't complain....


Regards,


Mark
