Maybe a structure like this...
+ usr
+ kde2.2
+ kmail
+ konqueror
+ kde3
+ bin
+ kmail -> ../kde/kmail/bin/kmail
...or this...
+ usr
+ X11R6
+ kde -> kde2.2
+ kde2.2
...would help? Let's suppose /usr is mounted on a separate partition. Can you
then mount /usr/kde2.2 to a separate partition as well if it seems to grow
too big or do all mounted directories have to be in the root file system?
