Well, if "/rescue" is not a proper name for that, then how proper is "/stand" ? Rescue is required when in need of executables on an unmounted system. Diskless boot is such a case! I'm looking forward to this change; will you also modify /etc/rc.d/initdiskless to not use /stand anymore? Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
