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. CU CPHIL -- - Allo !
