In SuSE 5.x, I have noticed that the symbolic link for X is in two places and somewhat convuluted (IMHO) as shown below in item 2. A symlink to another symlink!
1. /var/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA (or other X server) 2. /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /var/X11R6/bin/X
What is the reason for doing this? Seems very confusing to me.
If /usr/X11R6/bin/X needs to be there, then wouldn't the following be a less confusing solution?
3. /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA (or other X server)
Any comments/clarifications?
This method allows /usr to be mounted read only from several machines in a LAN. Every 'client' has it's own /var filesysten, so the proper X server can be set without changing anything on the global /usr.
