at the time, but on further reflection..." bucket with these changes.
1. Checking the media before frobbing the disks was a fine idea, and
I wish it could have worked, but that leads to a rather difficult
situation when you need to mount the media someplace and you're about
to:
a) Chroot away from your present root.
b) Newfs the root to be.
You're basically screwed since there's no place to stick the mount
point where it will be found following the newfs/chroot (and eliminating
the chroot in favor of just using the "root bias" feature would work
great for the distributions but not the pkg_add calls done by the
package installer).
2. Automatic timeout handling. I don't know why, but alarm() frequently
returns no residual even when the alarm didn't go off, which defies
the man page but hey, since when was that so unusual? Take out timeouts
but retain the code which temporarily replaces the SIGINT handler in
favor of a more media-specific handler. This way, at least, if it's hanging
you can at least whap it. I think the timeout code would have been losing
over *really slow* links anyway, so it's probably best that it go.
This should fix NFS, tape & CDROM installs again (serves me right for getting
complacent and using just the FTP installs in my testing).
1. Bus mouse selection didn't show up properly in mouse menu.
2. U&G management screen didn't respect cancel properly.
3. Novice not prompted to add users or set root password during installation.
4. Username length changes screw up user management form.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
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.
which will also need to be brought in before this screen will work.
Add some commentary about how the slip startup code is bogus.
Steal Joerg's loop for more properly closing all files and graft it into
the EHS startup. My loop was functional but more bogus.
o Incorporate some of Tatsumi's bug fixes.
o Remove the xperimnt and commerce distribution items; they haven't
been actual distributions for awhile.
o Try to sanitize the device checking code a little more.
o Cosmetic work on the network code.
the main menu.
2. Conditionalized a few small things which needed it.
3. Put PC98 X servers in their own menu, there are so many of them now.
4. Rampaged on the menus.c file in general, reformatting and cleaning up.
Not all mappings are supported, most languages come only with one
encoding since this should be sufficient to get up & running in using
sysinstall, and we are already pretty tight on space. (My previous
commit has already bumped the boot MFS size by another 50 KB for
this.)
This feature requires the `kbdcontrol -L' i've just committed. Plain
text keymaps and the entire scanner are overkill for sysinstall.
Also updated the list of available keymaps while i was at it.

Some changes of my own to make screen saver configuration a little
more sane, and also make it easier to get to the keyboard/screen
setup from the options menu.

Change the way that the routing daemon is configured entirely, to

That means adding packages with the 2.2-960511-SNAP boot floppy is busted. Feh.

Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on

Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.

More asthetic adjustments to menus.
Improve both the display efficiency and usability of the label

Go back to Normal menus for Media and FTP menus rather than
radio menus - the difference in behavior is confusing and sort
of detracts from the added (small) advantage of seeing what you last
picked.
1. Fix the last display bugs (I hope) by use of dialog rebuilds at stategic
points.
2. Clean up the distributions menus so that everybody (that's reasonable)
has All and Clear options for setting/clearing things en-masse.
3. Various attempts at display optimization.
4. Change the wording of the `Don't use Write!' dialogs to make them more
explicitly define when and when not to use the option.
I still have a _very very annoying_ display bug which occurs when a menu
item causes a submenu to be displayed - the screen repaints for the original
menu (which is restored upon return from the submenu) are off by about 4
characters. I've tried restoring the screen, the cursor position, you name
it - same deal. Grrrr! This commit is my first step in trying to get someone
else to help me look into this one since I'm just tearing my hair out at this
point!
1. Use new dialog menu hacks (no strings, just arrays of dialogMenuItem structs)
so that I can create composite menus with radio/checkbox/... items in them,
removing some long-standing UI bogons in various menus. This work isn't
finished yet, but will be done in two phases. This is phase one.
2. Remove all the script installation stuff. I never got time to document it,
it was arcane and it just complicated much of the code. There are better
ways of doing this if I want to do auto-driven installations later.
3. Remove much dead code and otherwise attempt to remove as much historical
grot as possible so that this code is easier to hack on. This is also
a two-stage process, phase one of which is now complete.
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...
Root floppy (which actually may be able to go completely away at some point
soon!) is now loadable from ftp/nfs/dos as well as CDROM and (of course)
floppy.
Fix more problems on Poul's Gripe List.
1. Fix a few bugs in the ftp installation code and implement proper
ftp and network shutdown routines.
2. Clean up the menus a fair bit - add a FreeBSD configuration menu.
3. Eliminate the last of the "chaining" - the installation now does
the most obvious thing in the most obvious cases and doesn't present
you with more menus than you were expecting. This makes it necessary to be
a little more explicit in places, but it's still less confusing.
4. Add a few more safety nets for the user. Change a few hard-and-fast
limits to warnings (it now runs as non-root, Bruce).
5. Add descriptions for all the supported ethernet cards.
6. Make the cpio floppy extract put up a menu requesting the drive you wish
to use if you have more than one; don't just always assume drive A.

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.
This is getting ridiculous. I may have to put the clear() back
and take the performance penalty, Poul.
Tweak the TCP/IP setup menu to look a little nicer.
Add lp0 to the list of available network devices (it was found before

Justin can see it.
2. Attempt to fix the redisplay problems in label.c some more. Not clearing
the screen each time is certainly faster, but it's causing all sorts of
problems.

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.
