Is > there a "right" way or a "standard"? I beleive that /usr/share/your-app-name is the right place. This is where most apps put scripts, glade files, other bits and pieces that are cpu/arch independent (i.e. don't contain cpu-spcific compiled bits), and don't require per-machine changes, and are static/unchanging. This allows clever sysadmins to NFS-mount /usr/share read-only on a bunch of clients. Yes, theres a standard, FSSTND or something like that, the 'file system heriarchy standard', all major distros including redhat and suse are now certified as conforming. --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!)
