off the top of my head: |
| 13 |
- this is why /etc/localtime is no longer a symlink to |
| 14 |
/usr/share/zoneinfo/ |
| 15 |
- this is why we have copies for a few terminals in /etc/terminfo from |
| 16 |
/usr/share/terminfo/ ... hopefully the one you're using is listed there |
| 17 |
- this is why we have to delay running keymap and consolefont init.d |
| 18 |
scripts until after /usr has been mounted (/usr/share/keymaps |
| 19 |
/usr/share/consolefont /usr/share/consoletrans) |
| 20 |
- anything locale related doesn't work until /usr is mounted |
| 21 |
(/usr/lib/locale /usr/share/locale) |
| 22 |
- passwd changing relying on cracklib dicts won't work |
| 23 |
(/usr/lib/cracklib_dict* /usr/share/misc/) |

/usr/bin/nano is a symlink |
