I was certain that there was a discussion of adding it to the system but the dates don't back that up. I did a "locate sysinstall" and the single executable version is all that showed up. It was always something you did after finishing a system upgrade. > > How do you do it ? > Does it need it ? Well, if you have used it since 18 Sep, I would say you need it. About the only time I use it is when I upgrade something. For example, the gui setup of an HD. Since the lastest code is always sitting in /usr/src/release/sysinstall, I just make it before I go to use it. I also have a tendancy to upgrate it after a new release. I hadn't done that this time.
