Can we warn users about not doing the separate /usr mistake in the handbook? |

If there's any option that allows the use of a separate /usr partition |
| 28 |
without an initramfs, then let's explore it. I don't feel like having to |
| 29 |
use an initramfs just because I want a small / without /usr on it. |
| 30 |
As others have said, having /usr as a separate partition worked for |
| 31 |
years until some people started trying to "shove" bloat on everyone's |
| 32 |
systems and then they want us to believe that having /usr as a separate |
| 33 |
partition is stupid. |
