The old way imposes requirements that are no longer supported by |
18 |
upstream software. So, you basically have three choices: |
19 |
|
20 |
1) Use old software that supports the old way |
21 |
2) Develop new software to support the old way |
22 |
3) Use an initramfs or pre-init script to mount /usr if it must be on |
23 |
a separate partition |
