As long as /usr is on your root partition, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. However, as far as I know, the system needs to access files in /var during the boot process, and if you have /var linked to a directory that's on another filesystem, and that filesystem isn't mounted yet, you may run into problems. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * IRC: Data * Email: data@dal.net * * WWW: http://voyager.abac.com/data * IRC Admin, voyager.dal.net * * --== Try DALnet!
