Environment

Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management

Situation

Question: Why does linux install require fixed installation paths?
Per the documentation:
"For Linux, several fixed installation paths are used:
/opt/novell/zenworks/
/etc/opt/novell/zenworks

/var/opt/novell/zenworks

/var/opt/novell/log/zenworks/"

Resolution

You can remap the content-repository store, but in the case of the core installation components, Novell complies with the LSB standard for Linux installations.
