This is only an issue legacy systems, systems that have had their disks be installed on faster systems and systems which have been cloned from older systems (dump | restore). There's something to be said about an O/S that doesn't need to be re-imaged every hardware/software upgrade or migration. It's also an issue for systems which have a small local root/ramdisk, and mount /usr via NFS. I managed a setup like this (not FreeBSD) once. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
