Ok, here's the probmem... You customize the icons for your own application... You remove the htdocs/manual directory, as you don't wish to become an Apache documentation mirror. You upgrade....suddenly, your customizations are undone. That is considered VERY bad. /etc is not part of the automatic upgrade process. I suspect that's the reason those files are in /etc. Think "life cycle", not just "install". While the current location may not be intuitive, I think it *is* correct. Nick. |
