Correct? Why doesn't it get updated or removed? Correct. The scripts don't automatically do it. You can do it by hand on RELENG_4 by making install in src/release/sysinstall and then linking everything else in /stand to /stand/sysinstall. > Why is there both a /stand/sysinstall and a /usr/sbin/sysinstall ? /stand/sysinstall is from RELENG_4, and /usr/sbin/sysinstall from HEAD. > Since I have the latter, may I delete /stand/ without loosing anything > useful? Depends what release you're running. > The FAQ and Handbook refer only to "/stand/sysinstall". That seems > wrong, if it's going to be an obsolete version. Comments, please. Could do with an update.
