When I installed 5.3 RELEASE, the installation program, when it was finished installing, said "Congratulations... to re-enter utility after the system is up, type /usr/sbin/sysinstall." However, the FreeBSD Handbook says to type /stand/sysinstall: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-final-warning.html The Handbook makes no mention of /usr/sbin/sysinstall. I find the following files are present: 403488 Nov 4 17:27 /usr/sbin/sysinstall 2046148 Nov 4 20:22 /stand/sysinstall When I invoke these programs, the screens that come up are identical, and the functions seem to be the same. Why are there two versions of sysinstall, one five times the size of the other, and what are the differences between them other than file size and time? Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, California, USA
