You are certainly correct that this is a stopgap method. I am trying to |
| 45 |
order a new system from dell and when successful will definitely install |
| 46 |
/ and /usr together on one partition and hence have the modern udev. |
| 47 |
Once I am comfortably on that new system I will re-install my three old |
| 48 |
systems to also have a combined / /usr. I just don't want to have my |
| 49 |
main system down. |
