Only sysinstall lives in > /stand, Heh, no. That is a crunch. It has the object code for _all_ of those binaries in it.

It isn't that big: > file $owd/sysinstall /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/sysinstall/sysinstall: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, not stripped > ll !:1 ll /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/sysinstall/sysinstall -rwxrwxr-x 1 john src 899374 Jan 11 14:06 /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/sysinstall/sysinstall The stripped version is about 840k, which isn't but so bad. That is if it lives in /sbin (which I vote for). The dynamic version if it goes in /usr/sbin would be smaller again. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
