The recomended place for locally installed software - e.g. Applix - is
/usr/local or /opt. Both are used by various sftware installation proggies. I
solve the problem by simply having a link /opt -> /usr/local with (executed
from the root directory: ln -s usr/local opt . This way it all ends up in the
/usr partition. If /usr gets full, I usually mount /usr/local onto another
partition.

There are other reasons for not using absolute paths...
