KnoppMyth.  I'm using Debian, and I had to edit at least a half
dozen files that had hard-coded paths in them.  What I couldn't
understand was _why_ there were hard-coded paths for all the
utilities.  When I did a "apt-get install" for the required
utilities, they all ended up in /usr/bin.

The instructions say to edit a couple files and put the proper
paths for things.   That's not sufficient -- you have to edit
most of the shell scripts and fix paths.

That's next on my list of things to try.
