This is not relevant for what we are talking about because /usr *will*
be required be available to boot the system no matter where the files
currently in /{bin,sbin,lib} will end up.If your goal is to have the smallest and least accessed file system available for recovery then I recommend that you create a 200-250 MB /boot and install grml-rescueboot. -- ciao, Marco
