- I've just got Seyon-1.7 on my PC and when I installed it, I was
- surprised that the tar placed it in a directory branching off directly
- from the root! Isn't this highly unusual place to install software
- packages? Many of us actually reserved only a small partition for root
- and the last things I want to see is getting app packages in there! Is
- it OK to move that seyon directory under /usr, or somewhere else before
- I compile the whole thing?
-
- BTW, the minimal install instructions mention something about running a
- 'Configure' first. That should generate the necessary config.h header
- file. What is this Configure? The only one I found was a script
- somewhere in the linux src directory, but that had nothing to do with
- Seyon. So this sounds Chinese to me right off the bat! ;-)
-
- Can anybody enlighten me about this?
-
- .... and I thought linux was "stingy" with documentation! ;-)

- Thanks,
