Please read the thread from May. I have read the "Adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to everyone's path in F10" thread from April, not sure if that's what you mean but apart from one message I didn't find a related thread from May. In the April thread I see several people advocating the symlink approach, and some people having reservations about it, most of whom seem to be hesitant about the amount of work involved in general with doing this right (ie. not the symlinking per se), and one or two who dismissed symlinking without providing any rationale. If I missed something, please provide exact pointers. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
