You can mount it into a large subdirectory of /usr, e.g. /usr/src. Or, you can mount it somewhere else, move some stuff out of /usr onto it, and keep legacy symlinks in /usr pointing to the new location. For -current or -stable systems, you can of course also be adventurous and use the ccd driver to concatenate both disks into a single /usr file system. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
