I was doing a system update today. That system has /usr mounted read-only from the server. This concept in general does not work terribly well with Mandrake Linux, but with menu it is a disaster.
That is because the menu data seems to be kept in /usr/share/gnome/distribution-menus so that any package that runs /usr/bin/update-menus gets errors like: cp: cannot remove `/usr/share/gnome/distribution-menus/Mandrake-simplified/.directory': Read-only file system It really should be possible to have a farm of Mandrake boxes mount /usr from a single server. b. -- Brian J.
