gnome 2.6 update

[Nick Hudson]

All modules that install to /opt/lunar/gnome/2.4 will be reworked to 
install into /usr.  Once this happens I will force a rebuild of each 
module to make sure no module gets left behind.  Also just to make sure 
all went well you can run a lin --fix to fix all modules that somehow 
got left behind.  Everything should go pretty smooth, but incase of some 
rough times just let me know via email or in irc. 

I am trying to get updated with work and real life issues before I 
update anything just so that I can make sure that I can be in irc to 
help peole who might have some problems.  Hopfully with this update, 
future updates will go much more smoothly and much easier.  Personally I 
dont do a "lunar update" just because I hate the way it works and I 
guess I am just use to "lunar renew" either way things should update 
fine and in order.  Just keep in mind that for this update to work I 
have to force the removal of your /opt/lunar/gnome/2.4 directory when 
the update starts.  So if you are running in Gnome and X things might 
just "stop working" all of a sudden when this happens. I would suggest 
you exit out to console and update from there.  The update will probobly 
be a long process depending on how many modules are installed and to 
what extent you use Gnome for.

Thanks

Nick
