What will happen if I do try to seperate /usr/bin from /bin?
I tried this saturday and my computer would not start again.
Just got it back online.

The final comment in that thread from Chris was that the FAQ is still
correct.  It's just that now that setup.exe honors existing mount points,
someone who 'knows what their doing' can split /usr/bin/ and /bin/.  If you
mention that it is possible, you should also mention that it is strongly not
recommended.
