smbmount /usr possible?

[Gunnar Strand <Gunnar.Strand@um.erisoft.se>]

Greetings fellow debian users,
 
I've recently gotten myself a little local network and have decided
to run my old 486 as server for exporting its large HD by using samba.
My new PC (the client) has both Linux and Win95 bootable + the old
1GB HD. Now, I want to minimize the Linux partition on my client and
smbmount the /usr directory from my server. The target is to share
every little file that is sharable to maximize the usage of the HD.
 
The best would be (I suppose) to have the same /usr mounted on both
hosts. However, debian seems to use /usr to store vital installation
information which will cause conflicts if I manage to smbmount that
directory.
 
So, is it possible to only use dselect on my server to install programs
I want to share between the hosts. And is it possible to share the
entire /usr directory?
 
Regards,
 
/Gunnar
