I can see benefits to moving the games into /usr/share with other 'stuff', but i'm not convinced we should be moving the binaries to work around fedoras $PATH deficiencies. (OTOH, if we move the data files and the temporary files, the binaries are in a special dir for no apparent reason. In which case I wouldn't object to moving them) thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
