- as a seperate item,... I'm going to restructure the FAQ to
- follow along the lines of the linux-fs-standard such that
- /usr/etc/inet will disappear and be replaced with /etc
- This is in keeping with a more 'pure' traditional setup
- most people who are worried about this should note that you
- should be able to avoid confusion in the following manner
-
- applies only to people who have /usr as a seperate FS from /
-
- umount your /usr
- mkdir /usr/etc (this only appears on / (trust me))
- ln -s /usr/etc/inet /etc (link (symbolic) to /etc)
- mount dev/[s/h]d[a/b]x /usr (remount /usr on top of fake directories)
-
- this means that should for any reason /usr NOT mount during
- a reboot, the NFS stuff will be able to fuction correctly

- ps: can we have a switch to /etc instead of /usr/etc/inet for hard
- coded binaries? please?
