Hi, Why do I have, for example, /usr/local/bin/netscape and /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla ? Applications from ports are randomly distributed over these two directories, which I believe, is a bad strategy. I can figure that exclusively the XFree86 ports may put files in /usr/X11R6, but that should not allow other ports to add files into the same directory. Why is there no stricter policy on port installs to put files only in /usr/local ? Regards, Rob.
