heh.. if a DVD version of this was made it could fit all the different modules onto one DVD
To be totally honest, i don't know!
chrooting seemed to me to be overly complex, but after another thought it may be a whole lot better than removing /usr.
I guess the only way would be to try it (didn't have much time today), but i still like the idea of having multiple modules at once (maybe one major module, that is chrooted into, and multiple minor modules loaded into /usr/local or a different mountpoint alltogether? you might even have base check for them and let them change conf's or launch additional apps. On the other hand, i had liked seperating X from windowmanager and apps...)

Those different modules on one cd could also be a possibility, you might even have a lilo-GUI to select which module to load at startup (or a framebuffer-one, it would be more flexible than poor old lilo, and would seem faster).

Well, enough to do, i'll sleep a night over it
