Fedora 22 issues

[Ed]

yes - I know - not "all" of the files - /bin /sbin etc the stuff I've
always thought of as "the tree" - Fedora now has it all under /usr
because /usr is very unlikely to be on a remote shared mount accessed
ro by multiple systems, and potentially unavailable during boot.
don't ask - just be happy.
