It is of little value after initial installation. Personally, I only keep it around because I'm a wimp and I actually prefer its disklabel editor over "disklabel -e". There are of course people who use sysinstall to install additional packages and do what not. If you are one of those, you certainly want to keep sysinstall, and you may want to update it. It's a matter of personal preference. I suspect you wouldn't want me to dictate yours. > Question 2: is there any reason why my build of sysinstall failed > recently? Assuming that every effect is preceded by a cause, yes. Updating sysinstall takes all of # cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall # make install # make clean This has worked for me every time so far. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
