/root -> /home/kmfahey; /usr/doc -> /usr/share/doc

[Kerne Fahey <kmfahey@toast.net>]

I have two very vague & general questions:

1) On my linux box (no other flesh&blood users besides me; it's a laptop),
I'm interested in emptying root's home directory, removing it, and making
a symbolic link to my home directory, /home/kmfahey . This is for various
aesthetic and convenience reasons, mostly so I'm not without my .*rc files
when root, and so that 'cd' as root takes me to my home directory. Would this
be a horrible mistake? (Would it be or create a security hole, or *really*
confuse linux in some way?)

2) On that same linux box, I'm interested in [carefully] moving the contents
of /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc , then removing /usr/doc and creating a symlink
in its place to /usr/share/doc . This, also, is for various aesthetic and
convenience reasons, mostly because of the FHS, and because I'd really like
dhelp_parse to shut up about files in /usr/doc every time I'm apt-getting
something. Would .this. be a horrible mistake?



Served with a smile,
