In message <200101191301.PAQ80768@burka.carrier.kiev.ua> Valentin Nechayev writes: : sysinstall is extremely valuable to fix system in cases when it is damaged. : I think it can live in /stand, or /sbin, or in another place, but this : place must be on root partition. Can you move it to /sbin and build statically? The problem with this is that / is getting very full and many older systems that have been upgraded tend to have problems fitting all the stuff on them. sysinstall isn't required to boot the system, so it shouldn't be in /. Even though it is a useful repair tool, its use as a repair tool happens rarely enough that burning space for it on / isn't worth it, imho. If you really want it in /sbin, statically linked, you can always cd usr.sbin/sysinstall make NOSHARED=YES BINDIR=/sbin all install But that's just my take.
