Hi all,

I would like to mount /usr read-only. I have been trying it, but I have
found some weird things which avoid me to mount it ro.

First of all, I'm running xfstt. So, with the /usr mounted ro, it can't
initialize its font database each time I boot up the computer. Why it
does not place its database information in /var, like some other
systems do (i.e. Debian)? Any good solution?

And the second problem I've seen with this is the /usr/compat/linux/etc
directory, which is also read on startup, and it fails for the same
reason. Any idea about this?

Thanks.
