Re: setup, default mounts
If I'm understanding this all properly, I'm going
to have a bit of a situation when I do finally upgrade
from b20.1.
Ever since b18 or so, I've flattened the distribution
and currently depend on:
C: -> /
with
/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/lib
/usr/local/ ...
being wholly separate entities.
Looks like we're heading from one extreme to another.
ie. from an overly deep directory structure to an
overly flat one. Sheesh !

Even some commercial Unices do this with links. HP-UX 10.09 and 10.15
did IIRC, (yes, those were real versions) and maybe other / more recent
versions too.
