That would incluse /usr, /usr/portage, /var and /home. I have not done that yet because doing it would force me to make a choice very soon since this mess is coming pretty soon. The reason it is bothering me is because of the mess it is creating for me. If I am the only one it bothers, then maybe it is time for me to use something else. That way everyone else can be happy and not have to listen to me grumble about it. I would like to make this work and have been missing with it for a month at least. I'm not making any progress tho. Right now, given the issues that I am already having, this is looking to be a deal breaker. It reminds me of when my ex kept lying to me about things. I can deal with it for a while but at some point you have to decide if it is something you want to put up with or time to leave. I left my ex, that's why she is called my ex. I didn't like making the decision since we had a lot of other things in common but I hate being lied to even worse. I like Gentoo a lot but it may not work for what I want in the near future. Also, this makes me thing back to hal. The only things is, there were ways to get rid of hal. There is not many options on this mess. If I'm going to make this work, it's going to have to be a long term solution, supporting /var on a separate partition as well. That will be next I suspect.
