1) a separate /tmp to protect the root filesystem from /tmp overflow

I can't remember why but there was some reason for not mounting /tmp as
a separate filesystem. It's probably buried along with "sync sync sync".
3) if i'm feeling bold and daring, i'll mount /usr read-only
(as the
FHS suggests it has the right to be). AFAIK, there's nothing in
fedora core that requires /usr to be mounted read-write in normal
operation, and i can always remount briefly when i'm installing or
updating SW.
That is the proper and correct way to have /usr mounted.
