10<para>The <emphasis>--exec-prefix=/</emphasis> flag will cause the
11programs to be installed in /bin rather than in /usr/bin. The programs
12in this package are often used in bootscripts; they should be in the /bin
13directory so they can be used in the event that the <filename
14class="directory">/usr</filename> partition isn't mounted.</para>

24<para>Psmisc's pidof program isn't installed by default. Generally, this
25isn't a problem because we later install the Sysvinit package, which
26provides a better pidof program.</para>
27
28<para>It's up to you to decide if you are going to use the Sysvinit
29package, which provides a pidof program, or not. If you're not going to
30use Sysvinit, you should complete this package's installation by creating
31the <filename>/bin/pidof</filename> symlink:</para>
