I've no problems mounting /usr. The problem is the lack of documentation
saying that one _must_ do that in order to have everything working.

Maybe in the INSTALL file, you should add the folowing:

--- snip ---

[...]

These are important FAI_ Variables: [BTW, there is a typo in this line]

[...all the stuff that is there...]

FAI_NFSSERVER_USR	Where the clients are going to mount the /usr 
			from. If you don't want to mount /usr, then please
			copy this files [list of files needed] to
			/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot
--- snip ---

Is this a bad ideia?

BTW, if this is already somewhere in the docs (and I didn't find it) them
please guide me in the right direction and I'll shut up at once :-)

Thanks,
