Of course it isn't "undocumented"; it's in a slackware script (aaa_base). ;-) The /usr/bin/~X11 symlink is Patrick's way of maintaining LFH compatibility, and was introduced in Slackware 12.0, AFAICT. I'm not familiar with other Linux distributions, so there may be some which create a populated /usr/bin/X11. So, on my 13.1 Slackware box, I can do: rherbert(a)starbug:~$ locate xorgsetup /usr/bin/xorgsetup rherbert(a)starbug:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/X11/xorgsetup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12785 Jun 8 2009 /usr/bin/X11/xorgsetup* Either way, I don't see it as a problem. -- Richard Herbert Registered Linux user 14329 If there's nothing wrong with me, then ... there must be something wrong with the Universe!

Neither do I, now I know what it is, and isn't. I do find the recursion somewhat of a "zit" though. -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

Don't worry about > it. Now I know what it is, and isn't, I can forget it. It does seem to be quite an embarassing thing to have around though, with that infinite recursion thing. Whatever. Another mystery solved. Cheers guys! :) -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs. |
