I did that for years. Then again, when I started doing that, I was using PLIP over a null-printer cable. But even after I could afford larger harddrives (so I had room to install /usr), and Ethernet cards (and later a hub), I still ran /usr over NFS. Personally, I'm rather saddened by usrmerge. But, such is life. mrc
