For the moment I smply try to compile sysinstall (cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysintall && make all) and it compiles without any problem. The size on the output file is about 1,2M. The problem comes when I put it in a mfsroot file and when it loads on startup. The sysinstall simply don't start. In the same time on the secont vty after 20secs I got a messages like "process NNN killed. no swap available" or something like it. So my question is is there a correct manner to make the sysinstall (like going to /usr/src and then make everything around). The original size is about 2.2 Megs and the one I got is about a 1meg less. It is compiled staticly (NOSHARED=3Dyes it have to mean that no??) For the moment i don't touch the code. Just compile it to try. The newly compiled sysinstall is running when it is executed from the directory where it is situated (like ./sysintall). Hm I thing thats all I have like symptoms.=20 Any suggestions? Or better is there a way to script an Auto partitioning of the hard disk without touching the code. thanks and good luck to allz Ivo
