+      If you need it anyway, you should make a partition large enough to
+      fit all programs and libraries in the system.  The root partition can be
+      very small (maybe just one gigabyte) in this configuration, so it's
+      suitable for a thin client or diskless workstation (where
+      <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> is mounted from a remote
+      server).  However you should take care that an initramfs (not covered by
