[quote]Note: The /opt directory is reserved in Gentoo Linux for binary-only packages. Examples include mozilla-bin, acroread, netscape and realplayer. Packages that get installed here will usually require a /etc/env.d/foo stub file. This is so that paths and additional variables can be included into the environment. For more information on ****/etc/env.d****, please visit this document.[/quote]

Comment 1 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-24 15:37:03 UTC
Why is /doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml still available? It's not linked from the index anymore. Hasn't it been deprecated in favour of http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml ?

Fixing gentoo-howto.xml anyway
