Package: debian-policy Version: 3.9.1.0 Severity: wishlist Debian supports /usr as a separate file system from /, /usr as a remote file system, and /, /usr, and /etc mounted read-only (unless you want to do something that obviously requires them to be read-write, like change configuration or install new packages). However, I don't believe any of this is documented explicitly.
Since these requirements keep catching people by surprise, I think we should write them down explicitly. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash debian-policy depends on no packages. debian-policy recommends no packages.
