It's hardly a tool that is required for day-to-day operation, so in most > cases it will only waste considerable amount of root partitition. 1) Now sysinstall is /usr/sbin, and it is hardly all that big anyway. 2) It wouldn't waste any more space anyway, since it would be *replacing* what is already installed. 3) Most of what FreeBSD installs is not required for day-to-day for most users. Since many users use sysinstall to some extent as a system managing tool, sysinstall is actually quite more oftenly used than many. -- Daniel C.
