This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing. "That's fine by me! I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
Add testftp: target
ftp.c:
add more debugging output and fix a few more problems
media_strategy:
make the ftp system actually do something resembling common sense.
it now works after a fashion, although it soon falls over for some
reason.
use them yet, but it's close (we're working on the last wrinkles
in the CD install for now).
2. Complete the CDROM installation strategy code.
3. Simplify the distribtuion loading code.
4. General error message cleanup.
5. Write the /etc/fstab file now and split those routines into config.c
6. Clean up the menus a little more.
implementation.
2. Totally rework device registration. It's about half the size and
more powerful now.
3. Add DOS discovery.
4. Start filling in some of the strategy routines.
5. Another clean-up pass over the menus.
6. Make wizard code use Disk typedef.
If I can get the first strategy routine finished tonite, we should have a working
install (from ftp, at least) this weekend.
as per Andrey's letter. Make a few modifications for correctness.
2. Add Language menu back to first menu - it was too buried in the
Options menu.
3. Add size information to all distributions.
4. Add a compat20 distribution (we need to make one of these!! Any takers? Please?)

2. Don't use russian screenmap - apparently not necessary with right font.
3. Dequote bogusly quoted font name in english language setting.
4. Use setterm() and hack around an undesirable side-effect (cbreak is unset).
5. be smarter about setting OnVTY, and use it in cases where it makes sense.

It remains to be seen how successfully. The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle
is as complete as it's ever going to get, modulo possible bug fixes.
The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing
state due to the fact that per-interface information isn't being kept
right now but is being added (thanks, Gary!).
Do another clean-up pass over this, making the generic menu handler much
more powerful (now handles multiple dispatch). A few more menus fleshed
out and the beginnings of the distribution handler committed. Should
be transfering full distributions over in the next commit.
fixed, we should be able to fully set up the user's disk. Still to come
with next commit: filesystem setup, distribution extraction, final
configuration.
nor is it in sync with my working sources, but it leaves me less CVS hassles
to bring in the new files at this time. Still no documentation to translate
quite yet, but soon. This stuff is actually very close now.
Added another couple of menu item types.
Reshuffled the menus and added a few more. Sure wish I could figure out
how to initialize a menu with _one_ initializer rather than two! :(
more to come in the next 24 hours, this is just the first stable result of
8 hours of hacking so far. The specification format for menus is pretty
much hammered out and the beginnings (very humble) of the doc hierarchy
are present for an example. It should be quite easy to add a lot more
menus quickly to this since I did go somewhat out of my way to make the
framework easy to work with. This is NOT the glorious semi-graphical
sysinstall (or whatever its name will be) that the install-geeks are working
on, this is simply the "son of sysinstall" I've been promising to write in
the interim for 2.0.5 and 2.1R (super install doesn't come until 2.2R).
