It's not safe in the general case to make any assumptions about the location of applications like that. Most well-built Mac OS X applications are self-contained and can be moved almost anywhere, and users do this all the time.
FWIW I keep locally (non-distro) apps in a separate /somemntpoint/LocalApps directory so I can change out the OS volume and not effect my locally installed applications. Just an example of why presuming apps are in /Applications is woolly thinking. -d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Shoop shoop@iwiring.net GoogleVoice: 1-646-402-5293 aim: iWiring twitter: @colonelmode _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
