That is disinformation. It's tirely feasible to need to create a lock file before /var is mounted, so it makes perfect sense to put those directories on /. Even better is to create them as a tmpfs so you don't even need disk drives to get a minimallt usable system. -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
