Heh. I use it for a few things. The one binary I'd like to see linked into sysinstall is wicontrol - you can't do a wavelan install by net without it, and I couldn't find a way to access my laptop's (USB) floppy drive for a fixit floppy to use the wicontrol fixit floppy I added at some point. Workarounds are the obvious install over wired network or building a CD to do the boot from, which has a fixit image and has wicontrol.
