When I switched to using an initramfs, it was not very complicated. I

genkernel --install --lvm -luks all, and I have kernel and initramfs
And for those that like to do without genkernel? Again, adding another
layer for things to go wrong.
I tried genkernel. All I got was a kernel that wouldn't boot. Heck, it
barely even started to boot. The kernel wouldn't even finish loading.
After several tries, I put genkernel in the trash. It worked a LOT
better there for me. It was out of sight and mind. ;-)
I don't get this one. Why do you want to copy an existing /usr partition
to another one?
He said he wishes to move his /usr to a spare partition (the part about
KDE4)... I assume his /usr currently resides on / (or maybe a smaller
partition that he cannot easily expand).
You hit it, for some reason I put /usr on the root partition without
thinking. This is where I am now:
rootfs 19534436 10693048 8841388 55% /
Over half full. When I have a critical partition get over 60%, I start
looking for expansion. Moving /usr was my plan but someone stole that
from me I guess. Now I got to figure out what I want to do next.
Yes, I also feel sorry for guys like Alan. But for us desktop users
I think's it's not such a big deal.
I'm a desktop and a (personal server) user and I think it's quite a big
deal. I want simplicity; adding layers increases complexity. I think
it's the same for Dale and most other people objecting to this. To me
it's a very big deal (this is a deal breaker, or close to it). I've been
using Linux continously since around 1998 (well, I did my first install
on my amiga 4000 in 1995 using 9 floppy disks, don't remember the
distro) and I've been using (not much administration though) Solaris,
AIX and HP-UX since around that time as well (at school& at work). It
seems some developers are hell bent on inventing Windows all over again
(this goes not only for udev but also for Gnome and their supporting
libraries)...

I'm a desktop user to and I'm not liking this one bit.
