Re: Some constructive criticism for you

DOH! I think we all know this by now. And that is how I used to compile
(its pretty hard to imagine that some people know what they're doing).
Anyway - the gnorba files get placed incorrectly with
./autogen.sh --prefix=/user or ./configure --prefix=/usr. What you need to
do is ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc - The gnorba files need
to go under /etc and not /usr/etc - If you would like to fix the FAQ please
do.
