For reasons explained in

   http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html and
   http://cr.yp.to/slashpackage/studies.html (notice the BIND failure!)

I have been standardizing locations for each of my files. Non-standard
locations for those files, like non-standard locations for /dev/null and
/etc/resolv.conf and /bin/sh, are not supported.

If you don't like that, and you don't know how to use symlinks, too bad.
This does not mean that the installation instructions are flawed; it
means that religious fanatics are not part of my desired user base.
