If "/resuce" had been installed in "/stand" as would be the FreeBSD way since 2.0; we wouldn't be having this discussion. Yet another reason why we should have gone with that location. Why am I being pig-headed over something that one company needs, and not another single FreeBSD using entity needs? All binaries in /stand are in /resuce and they are updated by 'make world'. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
