Thanks for the suggestion. : : It was mostly decided to use /stand rather than /rescue as sticking with : FreeBSD's 10 year precidence is better than going with NetBSD's <1 yr : one. We've been phasing out /stand for a long time. What is in there now on 5.x? Nothing. I killed /stand before my last installworld because it hasn't been updated since I did the initial install on my system. There's no reason to keep it around, and it is needlessly different than NetBSD. : It was also felt this patch puts way too much into /stand -- like vi : (rather than edit) and dhclient for instance. /stand should be just : enough to recover a system by a *skilled* person. I disagree. I think it keeps a good amount of stuff in there. Sure, I can do an echo * rather than an ls, but the binary is so small and disk space so cheap it makes no sense to have to force it so that only uber-studs can use it. <ob bikeshed> I think we should have all the binaries in /sbin or /bin, but with an appended -rescue. </bikeshed> Can we please not get into the bikesheds over this?
