In addition to the files pertaining to RPM that reside in
/var/lib/rpm (see the
RPM chapter in the
Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide for more information on
RPM), there are two other special locations
reserved for Red Hat Linux configuration and operation.
The configuration tools provided with Red Hat Linux install many scripts, bitmap,
and text files in /usr/lib/rhs. Since these files
are generated by software on your system, you probably will not want to
edit any of them by hand.
The other special location (/etc/sysconfig) stores
configuration information. Many scripts that run at boot time use the
files in this directory.
