Gentoo uses /mnt as FHS's /media /mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem Purpose This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local issue and should not affect the manner in which any program is run. This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead. > On Sunday 19 September 2004 8:16 pm, Dan Armak wrote: > >>The FHS says about /usr: "Large software packages must not use a direct >>subdirectory under the /usr hierarchy."

FHS says about /usr/X11R6: ``An exception is made for the X Window System because of considerable precedent and widely-accepted practice.'' So it's an exception, _not_ the rule. (pls don't start to ask if kde/qt can also be an exception...not it can not imo) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
