If invoked as "rm" sysinstall behaves just like the real rm, it happens to be one big binary. > Well, /stand/rm is not _really_ rm at all, but I get the point.

I'd prefer it in /usr/sbin, some of my root partitions are only 32MB, and that's not big enough at the moment. If your /usr is hosed to the extent you can't mount it you've probably got more problems than sysinstall will help you with.
