Wow. Now, y'see, that's something I'd consider wildly exotic and
weird. I haven't put /usr on a separate partition since the 1980s when
I was trying to build 20-user systems with 20-40MB hard disks.

I never separate out /tmp or /var or /usr/local - I only ever use /
and /home basically. I might split off /var on a server but I'd need a
remarkably persuasive use case, and on servers, I use extra-stable
distros without GUIs, not something like Fedora.

But this just illustrates the breadth of scenarios a successful
installer must cope with!
