if wrong version.
2. Make sure network device is initialized in ftpInit
3. Eliminate bogus size values in the menus. For now, we'll have to admit
that nobody's added it up yet. In the future, these menus should be
build dynamically anyway, not declared static.
4. Add more debugging to networking code to chase the mystery ppp device
problem.
Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.
Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes. I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

I don't want it in sysinstall/help, since that'll get it stuck on the
actual floppy, and I didn't fell like creating a doc/ subdirectory for
one file either. Bah.
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work. Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.
Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.
I went over the code.
Add shortcuts for addUser and addGroup, documenting same.
Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
(or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.
2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
media types.
3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
Yay! I ripped something out for a change!

obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults
will now be displayed while going through the menu, and an improved
error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.
2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.
bogus or overly complex and really needed to be done more consistently
and sanely throughout - no question about it. Done.
