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 |
