There is nothing to contain apart from /etc. Nope, haven't missed a thing; I'm on the other side of the fence (of course the _right_ side :-) ), where we can keep all our /bin /sbin /usr directories separate and live happily everafter... ;-) > Your sarcasm fails because you think that there is an intrinsic reason to keep > / seperate.

You're correct in a sense; if I choose to accept the New World Order (NWO) and put everything into /usr then you would be correct. As it stands now, I'm going in the other direction (putting /, /usr, /var, /home on separate harddrives)... :-D But I guess Gentoo itself will adapt to the NWO eventually, unless (by some miracle) some sanity is restored, so I'll have to find a new OS to use (probably FreeBSD)...
