70 | <para>It is good policy and common practice to place important

71 | libraries into the <filename class="directory">/lib</filename>
|
---|
72 | directory. This is most important in scenarios where <filename
|
---|
73 | class="directory">/usr</filename> is on a separate partition.
|
---|
74 | Essentially, the run-time components of any libraries that are used by
|
---|
75 | programs in <filename class="directory">/bin</filename> or <filename
|
---|
76 | class="directory">/sbin</filename> should reside in <filename
|
---|
77 | class="directory">/lib</filename> so that they are on the root
|
---|
78 | partition and available in the event of <filename
|
---|
79 | class="directory">/usr</filename> being inaccessible.</para>
|
---|
80 |
|
---|
81 | <para>For the above reason, move the run-time components of the shared Zlib
