Re: Fwd: Linux Installer for Blender

Maybe I should provide more useful information:

For unixish platforms (which is all i can talk about, and which constitute
the majority of platforms blender supports), the story could go:

main binary:         
/usr/local/bin

plugins:             
/usr/local/share/blender/plugins
 (with the default plugins dir in .B.blend pointing there, of course)

configuration files (.B.blend, .Blanguages, .Bfs, etc.)
/usr/local/etc/blender/B.blend
/usr/local/etc/blender/Blanguages
etc.

ADDITIONALLY, on first startup, Blender should launch a user-specific
installation (much like The GIMP), copying the files from
/usr/local/etc/blender/ over to ~/.blender/ as desired/needed
by the user to 'localize' his/her configuration.
