You should really retain context in what you decide to snip, as you have changed the entire meaning and intent of what I said and asked. [1] The question was literally an RFC - a request for people to comment. I have no strict engineering or configuration need for / and /usr to be separate; I know of one setup configuration that requires it, I asked who needs it for different reasons and why - not as a debate point, but as a learning point. Does that sufficiently answer the thought that prompted you to reply? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
