(1.b) is not true; I was very careful to make sure that the FSSTND does not require a separate /usr. (You can't get rid of /usr, but you can make it a symlink, and still comply with FSSTND.) > 2) The biggest problems I see with completely removing /usr. > > Problems: > a) the enormus number of Debian packages that must be changed. > b) changing *every* reference in each package, including > any references in the documentation to /usr/... Agreed, and for this reason it should not be eliminated. All I think is feasible is making it a symlink. Thomas
