Um...I only meant that sysinstall doesn't need to copy /stand from the installation media (e.g. mfsroot.flp) during an installation. /stand needs to stay on the floppies because as you pointed out, /rescue (at least in its current form) doesn't fit. > In theory, we can simply do "rm -rf /stand", but it is not enough to > say goodbye to /stand directory -- sysinstall(8) assumes that the > filefile is sitting on /stand/help directory (or sysinstall's source > code directory, but it should not be there if a user doesn't extract > source tree). But it can be easily fixed as you imagined :-) This is only a problem for invoking sysinstall after an installation. I'm not sure what's the best way to solve this problem. Again, I was *not* suggesting that we remove /stand from the floppies. All I was saying is that the correct way to get rid of /stand on the root filesystem (should we choose to do this and assuming that certain details get worked out) is simply not to copy it.
