With most GNU/Linux software installers, i am not restricted to just under /usr/share/, if i want i can install it straight on / ,or i can go /home/javier/Xilinx/ISE , or i can install it on /opt/xilinx/ISE , or i can install it in a DVD-RAM disk, or in a pen-drive, or on a network mounted path etc, and "appname" can be whatever i want, even nothing (which would mean the folder i put it in)

In fact I'm typing /mnt/Opt/xilinx/ISE_DS/ into the Xilinx ISE installer as I was writing this post.
