When a user opens up gBootRoot, the program checks to see if there are any
new replacements and then creates symlinks from the

In general the repositories for replacements are owned by root, so normal
users can't make changes to these files; however, when root is
editing replacements in the $HOME Replacements location, it should be the

administrator's policy to use an editor which respects versioned files (i.e. Emacs).&nbsp;&nbsp;Then the
administrator will not be able to
make any changes to the replacements repository because the CVS directories
keep date information which prevents the editing of these
files.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is highly recommended to follow this procedure, and
not to delete the CVS directories because /usr/share is meant to be used
for data which shouldn't be modified directly by any user
files.&nbsp;&nbsp;The files kept in /usr/lib are usually binary files
specific to the host architecture,
