If you have 4.X you'll still have /stand. If you updated through cvsup for = a=20 long time you might have both. In that case /stand is indeed a leftover. Th= e=20 sysinstall binary was moved to /usr/bin. /rescue is in principle independen= t=20 of sysinstall. They're statically compiled binaries that can be used in cas= e=20 your (now "dynamic", that is linked to libraries residing elsewhere, not wi= th=20 libraries built-in) root is broken or so. You could run, e.g. /rescue/ls.=20 Everything in /rescue is the same statically built binary but they're not t= he=20 same as the sysinstall binary. With 4.X this was so but not anymore with 5.= X. Hope that clarified, Dan
