I have about 60 mb on /usr. A software installing session could use that in
nothing flat. I have
plenty of room on /mnt, but I have to install by hand to get anything there.
Then X doesn't know
about it, etc. I can edit x menus. But still, it is not as easy as using
apt which was my original point.
It is possible to attach a new hard drive to /usr/local, but most software
packages are not smart
enough to use it in a manual installation. Netscape 6, Adabas db, java sdk,
Netbeans are not for
instance.
