Sorry! I apparently was not in the right mindframe there.

Right. I had a little short circuit in the membra(i)ne because I just saw
/usr/man existing and being filled with man pages.... like from netcdf,
as86, bcc, nedit, dhcp, dosfs stuff...
Seems like there's some more fixing to do. Especially since "man"
doesn't find these.

Is this splitting of stuff with $INSTALL_ROOT intended?
We put the modules into /lib, we look for kernel in /usr, but put binaries
into $INSTALL_ROOT.
Well, get_kernel_version also looks in /usr/src/linux-... harcoded.
So I guess we make an exception for linux source and modules; also since
INSTALL_ROOT doesn't have to mean "prepare a full system in some chroot".

And second question: Do we allow the tools in /sbin or rather in
/usr/sbin?
I've moved them from /usr/local/bin to /usr/sbin since they're system
binaries.
One now could argue that getting the wlan up is an important system
management task that should work without /usr mounted (imagine /usr
mounted via NFS over WLAN...).
Personally, I'm OK with that, I just want to have it said here so before
ppl. come around asking why the FHS we put the stuff into /sbin.
