Uh...wait a sec... /stand/sysinstall is the crunched binary that you get on the installation media. It is never updated with an installworld. As far as I can tell, this is true even on -CURRENT systems. /usr/sbin/sysinstall exists only on -CURRENT. It is a "normal", dynamically-linked executable that *does* get updated with a buildworld/ installworld. pdmonitor:bmah% ldd /stand/sysinstall ldd: /stand/sysinstall: not a dynamic executable pdmonitor:bmah% ldd /usr/sbin/sysinstall /usr/sbin/sysinstall: libdialog.so.4 => /usr/lib/libdialog.so.4 (0x280af000) libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280c8000) libutil.so.3 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 (0x28109000) libftpio.so.5 => /usr/lib/libftpio.so.5 (0x28112000) libc.so.5 => /usr/lib/libc.so.5 (0x28118000) pdmonitor:bmah% uname -a FreeBSD pdmonitor.packetdesign.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #4: Wed Feb 20 15:33:48 PST 2002 root@pdmonitor.packetdesign.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing sysinstall moved either...it makes doing MFCs easier. :-) Bruce. PS. I'm sure some other RE type is going to prove me wrong on about half of the stuff I said above, but that's my understanding of the situation.
