Would it be desirable to abstract this kind of information into a separate page? I'm not saying a new page to list everything you might need on /, that doesn't make any sense. But a page listing concerns to address for remote-mounting /usr that talks about using ldd to find required libraries could be helpful. A page like this could also be expanded at a later time to include creation of an initramfs, as the process is similar in that you would use ldd to find what you need and mv or cp it to the appropriate location. -- Robert Daniels -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
