Anyway, I'm thinking now that the 'best of both worlds' might be to do
the cp first on the live system, then boot into single user mode (is
it safe to change the /usr mount point/location when in single user

files ... ?
Never got a response to this...
Since I like things clean and simple, it would make much more sense -
assuming this can be done reliably - to just boot into single user mode,
rather than using SystemRescue/LiveCD/DVD.
Googling appears to say it is fine, as I saw lots of references to doing
a fsck on /usr when booted into single user mode, which suggests that
/usr is not mounted when in single user mode.
Is this correct?
If so, I see no reason to use a LiveCD/DVD, booting into single user
mode is all that is necessary.
