If you have your own install script that newfs's a disk and untars the base dist, you won't have a /stand directory. > If not, then please have sysinstall rm -rf /stand. *shrug*, it is an artifact that has proved useful in the past for system recovery. If /rescue becomes a reality then I would have no problem with /stand being removed after a successful install. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
