The system should still work properly. In fact...much of the FSSTND is written explicitly with the purpose of making it possible to mount /usr read-only (that wa sthe rational behind creating /var to separate out the things traiditonally in /usr that needed to be written to) > The only problem is with upgrading programs; if you're running one of > the Debian distributions that changes rapidly (frozen or unstable) you > might want /usr read-write so you can update the system.

It could be a great idea for testing unstable too ;) that way anything that tries to write to /usr flags an error thus identifing places where something is not (in that respect) FSSTND complient of course it would have ot bve remounted read-write for upgrades (I also advocate removing the link from /usr/spool -> /var/spool ...assumin git exists in debian...I know some do it...) hmm never mind Debian doesn't have it...well 2.0 doesn't anyway - -Steve > > -- > _____________________________ > / \ "Dad was reading a book called > | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.
