[ltp] Installing rpms in alternate directories

[James McKenzie]

Ok, I really need to read the man pages.  I still have a question 
though.  I want to install /usr/lib in /opt/lib under FC2.  Has anyone 
done this, successfully.  I know about symlinks, but some programs will 
fail with "mysterious" errors.  I don't plan on moving /usr/lib/X11R6 or 
any of the subdirectories under it. 

The reason I want to do this is I'm running out of space in the root (/) 
directory and I don't want to rebuild the system, again.  I just spend a 
week recovering from my last attempt.  I really would like to do a clean 
install, but FC3 is supposed to be released in about a week, and test 3 
is out there now.
