Last night when writing my message, I thought about quoting Eliza "YOU ARE
BEING A BIT NEGATIVE." or "ARE YOU SAYING 'NO' JUST TO BE NEGATIVE?"...
Yes, I answered "n" just to be negative. The intention was only to confuse and
crash the system. Which is a good thing, when looking for bugs, no?
Question: if /usr is necessary, why ask the user?

No no, seriously, I figured 'mc' would be a link to 'pion'...

No no no, in all earnest, 'pion' is useful for exploring the file tree. I
wanted to look around at the bare-bones mu to see what might be wrong. 'pion'
is easier than typing 'cd' and 'ls' and 'cat < myfile | more'.
I may remember wrongly, but didn't the older 'pion' versions allow one to
browse without first installing '/usr'? And yet 'pion' needs 'muless', so
maybe it did need '/usr' after all...
