-<para>It is good policy and common practice to place important libraries into
-the <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> directory. This matters most
-in scenarios where <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> is on a
-separate partition. Essentially, the run-time components of any libraries that
-are used by programs in <filename class="directory">/bin</filename> or
-<filename class="directory">/sbin</filename> should reside in
-<filename class="directory">/lib</filename> so that they are on the root
-partition and available in the event of
