This is a common practise, when you install program from sources by yourself then /usr/local prefix is used. That way you can remove it easily and it does not conflict with files provided by binary packages.

Hi,

CVS compile seems to use /usr/local/, eg. /usr/local/lib/module, /usr/local/sbin and etc. 0.8.12 RPM installs uses /usr, eg. /usr/lib/modules, /usr/sbin/.

Why is it different? Is there a standard directory?

Thanks, Richard
