Long term, I'll admit that getting rid of separate /usr may be a good idea, Solaris appears to have done away with it a while ago (which surprised me, since they used to make explicit provision for having shared /usr in their package management system). Anyway, there are quite a few situations in which you're basically screwed unless you can run your package manager (and possibly things like ldconfig) so I'd like to add another vote in favour of adding a "create a rescue image" command somewhere ... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
