If so, the following patch seemed to be needed when I wanted to install it somewhere other than /stand --- /usr/local/system/src/release/sysinstall/Makefile Mon Dec 17 09:32:33 2001 +++ /usr/local/source-hacks/release/sysinstall/Makefile Tue Dec 18 21:51:24 2001 @@ -108,8 +108,8 @@ mv keymap.tmp keymap.h beforeinstall: - @if [ ! -d ${BINDIR}/ ]; then \ - mkdir -p ${BINDIR}; \ + @if [ ! -d ${DESTDIR}${BINDIR}/ ]; then \ + mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}${BINDIR}; \ fi .include Nextly, I was installing onto a different disk, and /stand on that disk looked rather different from /stand on a normally- installed system. As far as I could tell in a quick look, * none of the hard links one normally finds in /stand exist * none of the documentation called up by the function keys in sysinstall is available So, what is the proper and suggested way in -stable to populate /stand with sysinstall and anything else needed? Also, I see that in the -current installation I have, the /stand directory no longer exists, with sysinstall existing dynamically-linked in /usr/sbin, but I haven't checked that out at all... thanks barry bouwsma To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
