You are welcome to keep it separate. What you're being told by the Gentoo devs, specifically WilliamH, is that the Gentoo devs can no longer support early mount of /usr separate from / and if you choose to keep that, your system is going to require an initramfs to boot. Just that simple. All the "we don't want them shoving whatever down our throats" arguments are a waste of time. You have been warned over 30 days in advance. This does not mean that on November 1 your system will not be able to boot. Its simply means that beginning November 1, Gentoo devs are not required to jump through hoops to make apps work on systems with /usr separate from /. Now, what are you going to do? That's the question. 1 - keep ranting about "them" and what "they are doing to me"? 2 - move your /usr under / ? 3 - learn HOW-TO make and install an initramfs? -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ supp...@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
