Look at the install scripts -- it doesn't prefetch just anywhere, it has a few specific places. /tmp, /home I think are two of the choices, may be more (NOTE: I am too tired to bother looking this up myself now, and it would be good experience for you to do so). I don't think /usr is. Thus, your original config, which had nowhere near enough space in /tmp or /home for the prefetch caused it not to. Nick.
