So, given the choices of: 1. Re-establishing FHS standards so that I can boot with / only. 2. Consolidating everything under /usr so that just about all OS-managed files are in a single place. 3. Stuffing everything in /usr into my root partition. I'd say that #3 is the worst of all possible worlds. At least there is some kind of expected benefit from the /usr move. Sure, you COULD shove everything into root, but I can't think of anybody in this debate who would consider that a useful solution. Go read the Fedora reasons-for-the-/usr-move page. Whether you think it is worth it or not is one thing, but at least there are reasons for it. I can't think of any benefits from doing the reverse. Rich
