I suppose the two different mount points "/usr/bin" and "/" as well as the resulting redundancy in the PATH directories may be a holdover from some old standard unix conventions.

Does anyone know what these conventions are all about and what might get broken by changing them?

For example, scripts starting with #! /bin/sh or #! /usr/bin/env perl or just about any other instance where absolute paths are used, I presume. Cheers, Ralf
