Can you move it to /sbin and build > statically? You will always have /stand/sysinstall from the installation, and you already have tools such as fdisk/disklabel/etc. in /. Also, from a more practical standpoint, there were old Attic files of sysinstall in src/sbin/sysinstall already making the repocopy rather difficult. Finally, a static sysinstall would add 800+k of bloat to /, where as right now it adds 350+k to /usr. > /netch -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
