PMLinux has only one menu command for all of the user interfaces, "/var/perf/pm/config.PMLnx", which has a symbol link at /usr/sbin/config.PMLnx for root working well without $PATH setting.

Now, as per Mathieu's request "putting *everything* under /opt" " to fulfill FHS standard, we have to move that public link into /opt/sbin, which will ruin the interface access, so does PMLinux man help if we also relocate PMLinux.8.gz from /usr/share/man to /opt/man.

Because Ubuntu is not ready for basic /opt support, what I hope is Ubuntu team still allows PMLinux continue to use /usr/sbin and /usr/share/man.
