I think I found the problem...  Suggestions? :)

When I ls -l in /stand, all the files are 1069056 bytes in size.  There
was also sysinstall.core same size which I deleted. Strangely du reports
a total of 1140, which seems more reasonable.  Can I find /stand/* files
somewhere archived on the net to copy them over, or there is something
else to try?

Thank you,
Gregory
