My question is whether it is normal that after installation I do not have /usr/local/etc (just /usr/local)? I couldn't use the web to install the OS so I made use of the iso cd. I tried minimal install first, then full binaries and sources and yet although the installation process ended up without any error message, no /usr/local/etc. It is nothing serious - I was going to use that box only to experiment with certain things and see their effect before I deploy them on a production system but if there is something obvious that I am missing, many thanks in advance for sharing!
