One type of directory seem particularly useful: - directories in which each file serves the exact same purpose for a different target. However many of these we want, though the more pieces it goes into the more complicated it'll be to figure out what does what... The other useful idea would be purely organizational (like breaking up utils). Both of these require creating subdirectories; I think both may be good ideas. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
