I would like to have /usr mounted as read-only.
To achieve that, I have to ajust some things in the distro at every update.
Could it be fixed, has I think variable files does not have their place there.

This include kscd's /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/...
Maelstrom and some other games scores files.

I also use rpmdrake to update, and I keep images from the last CDs on my HD. I 
use � script that remount /usr rw, then mount my images loopback, launch 
rpmdrake and does it the other way when finished.

1) Could the /usr ro option be included in some way (such as testing itand 
automating remount) in rpmdrake or rpm ? that would be nice, as I don't see 
any other tool that need write access to /usr

2) Could the loopback option be integrated in sources possibilities in 
rpmdrake ?

3) Sometimes, I think some process are not truly finished when rpmdrake 
congratulates you for installing the packages. As a result, /usr is still in 
use and if you stop the application quickly, remounting of /usr ro is not 
possible.
