Is my assessment correct? Some has made it in... and that introduced a new issue... If you have a system w/ split root and /usr, then you won't be able to use all the utilities in / because of this: # ldd `which df` /bin/df: libxo.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxo.so.0 (0x800820000) libutil.so.9 => /lib/libutil.so.9 (0x800a2f000) libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800c41000) Notice how df now depends upon a library in /usr which is a big no-no... libxo needs to be moved to /lib or we need to rip out the support from all utilities that live in /... Adrian pointed this out already, but hasn't gotten any traction... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
