[...] /usr may require NFS, which requires networking, which may require crda, which requires: $ ldd /sbin/crda linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7762000) libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0xf76f9000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0xf754b000) libnl.so.1 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnl.so.1 (0xf74fa000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xf73a0000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xf739c000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xf7388000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xf7362000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7763000) Oh well, hopefully no-one actually expects that to work.
