so you think there are enough people willing to contribute code over the
long haul (not just the initial honeymoon stage) to offset the loss of 4
people that currently "get a lot of shit done"?  and you think these people
that are willing to contribute are on par experience and talent wise with
those that'd be replaced?

i don't know jack about linux, but couldn't you do something like a symlink
(is that what it's called?) or something to the place cf is configured to
look?  something like this?

ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

what i'm getting at is there are always going to be snags when installing
software.  either you can change it, but you don't have time to figure out
how or you can't which means you gotta make changes somewhere else to
account for it.

unfortunately mine aren't and they won't be getting honed any time soon with
a baby due any day now.
