   Hmm not so many as it is all created from the mbse_root setting but yes there   
   is a few that is not adjusted in the make file.  Even more so if you have it   
   already running at /opt.   
      
   Your setting of usr/lib is no better and if anything worse if you are a user   
   who splits the system in two elements, e.g., / for system with a partition of   
   say 12 - 20 Gb and /home that is mounted to / as the second partition.   
      
   This allows /home to be placed on any version or distro without changing any   
   user settings other than creating the user accounts tied to specific uid's    
   etc.   
      
   As I run 3 - 4 as well as additional drives and now am installing a SSD I do   
   not want mbse to be on the root/boot partition.   
      
   This also in the event of a major system failure I can remove the drive   
   containing /home and plug it in to my laptop with the users pre installed and    
   can run the system from there until I get the server box back up and running.   
      
   Belts and braces.
