>> There should be no `.sample' files in /etc. >Where do you suggest sticking etc 'example' files then? I'm thinking of The same place as rc.sample (/dev/null). We have a /usr/share/examples/etc, but no one seems to look in there. It contains only 3 files, the largest of which is a completely out of date README. >files (pccard.conf.example) that shouldn't (yet) be installed unless the >user explicitly installs them, since they are system specific >(IRQ/IOMEM/etc) but shouldn't require the user to install the source >dist. to get at them. Perhaps they should go in /etc.sample (in / because they are machine- dependent and you might want them before mounting /usr). Some other things in /usr/src/share/examples could be handled better. I changed the Makefile to make sure that everything is installed (in case the user doesn't install the source dist.), but it makes no sense to install examples of sources. OTOH, sources are a bit hard to get to in /usr/src/share/examples. Bruce
