If you have 4.X you'll still have /stand. If you updated through cvsup for a long time you might have both. In that case /stand is indeed a leftover. The sysinstall binary was moved to /usr/bin. /rescue is in principle independent of sysinstall. They're statically compiled binaries that can be used in case your (now "dynamic", that is linked to libraries residing elsewhere, not with libraries built-in) root is broken or so. You could run, e.g. /rescue/ls. Everything in /rescue is the same statically built binary but they're not the same as the sysinstall binary. With 4.X this was so but not anymore with 5.X. Hope that clarified, Dan
