After months of using FreeBSD, there is only one area in which I am still quite fuzzy. There seems to be no real standard place to install "stuff". For example, when I installed Samba the other day, I decided to use ./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/usr. Bad idea, I realized, since my 88M / slice began to fill up and now nmbd core dumps when stopped. So my question is, how does one make an informed decision as to where to place what? I know all unices have different places for different things - what are FreeBSD's? For example, what goes in /usr/local/ and /usr? Thanks for any light you could shed on the subject. I know my question is posed in the most elegant matter but I hope it makes sense. - aaron --------------------------------------------- click46[wp] - AIM the click46 - ICQ 43450396 webpimps.net | bsdatwork.com | nerdserve.net moderator - o/c cooling forum @ hardforum.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
