After the upgrade /stand/sysinstall cores when I access the 'dictributions' menu. Figuring the upgrade went awry, I completely wiped the hd's and installed 3.4 afresh. Same problem. So I wiped it again and installed 3.3 instead. Again the same problem. So I ended up reinstalling 3.1 on a clean system. /stand/sysinstall works fine. Does anybody have any idea what may be causing this? As it prevents me fromn getting at, amongst others, the kernel sources. :-( Have there been changes in /stand/sysinstall or one of it's components since 3.1 that may be causing this? Output of 'strings sysinstal.core | more' produced the following interesting line: 'erflow pages. Increase page size' Note: I installed another system from the same 3.3/3.4 CD's and there /stand/sysinstall runs fine.
