Ok I see. But then I think it's not so interesting to have a separate /usr, if the machines can be different (windows, fonts etc) there can be many situations where anyway you want to install packages for only one machine, thus invading the /usr.. no? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
