determine whether a connection to a given machine is up or not.
In FreeBSD 2.0 (and therefore, I assume, BSD 4.4) the exit code of ping
is always zero, even if no packets were received.
I would like to propose the following change to /usr/src/sbin/ping/ping.c
to restore this useful behaviour:

a decimal value.
I don't have the time to deal with users typing in partition names
such as "FreeBSD" at the moment so just allow the numerical id to be
specified for the moment.
Could do with some cosmetic tuning regarding placement and things.
Fixed some dialog code (from Andrew).
Pass mountpoints onto stage2 in a struct fstab *mounts[]
Fix all the field connections to conform to the new L&F document.
Removed a layer of menus.
Auto select partition to install into -- first FreeBSD partition
in MBR table. Abort if no FreeBSD partition.
Added a F_BUTTON type.
Fixed up label editor to show free space properly.
Fixed a few bugs.
2. See if swapon() failed and at least print a diagnostic.
3. Use -1 instead of strheight()/strwidth() everywhere.

struct lfs.
sovs@diku.dk:
The pad2 field in struct lfs is a kludge. You
need it because the raw devices has to be written in DEV_BSIZE. The
lfs_maxsymlinklen is needed because the tells the UFS code that we
want to use 4.4BSD directory layout insted of FreeBSD 1.1.5.

1. Don't use kernel name for headers - I'm running 2.0.1-Development,
not ALPHA, and this messes things up.
2. The last dialog was too big, make it a little smaller. Just cosmetic,
while I'm in here.
main.c sanitize the logic of what we do when:
if(getpid()!=1) do stage0 & stage1 (very useful actually)
else if (floppy-marker-file is there) stage0-2, reboot
else stage3-5
have to write the text-file it will dump on you.
Stopped using cleartoeol in AskEm(), just as a test to see if the screen
looks more sane.
Added a attempted auto-recognition of /, swap and /usr for the first disk
where it looks sensible. Logic of this might need to be improved.
Made a "ShowFile()" which will not bomb/ignore you if the file isn't there.
/sbin/umount does not return the correct exit status due to incorrect
logic in its internals.
Further, because of the nature of the code, you *cannot* use it to
umount a directory from a union mountpoint. Well, you can sometimes,
it depends on if the directory is at the top of the union stack or not :)

Make a stab at getting free space display to work.
Forward decls to shut compiler warnings up.
Increase some fields to width 2 in order to get edit_line to let you
actually edit them.
Sanity check values and yell at bonehead users.
Try to reformat this code to be a little more human. Weird europeans

most common cd9660 and nfs options like God intended them. (It is now
possible to say
mount -o ro,soft,bg,intr there:/foo/bar /foo/bar
again.) This whole getmntopt() business is an incredible botch;
it never should have been anything more than a wrapper around
getsubopt(3). Because if the way the current hackaround is implemented,
options which take arguments (like the old `rsize' and `wsize') are still
unavailable, and must be accessed the new, broken way.
(It's unimaginable how Berkeley managed to screw up one of the few things
about NFS that Sun actually got right to begin with!)
I have walked all over Paul Richards code again, and severely lobotomized
some of his stuff, in order to cut some corners for the 2.0-Alpha release.
I belive that we can now manipulate fdisk and disklabel-stuff sufficiently
for the release to actually be produced.
It's not that I don't like Paul and his code, I just need something I
can kick out of the door RSN.
Sysinstall is now under absolute code-freeze, only Jordan has my permission
to commit to this code (stage0 & 5). I would appreciate if everybody
else would finds problems in sysinstall send patches to me, and I will
commit them. THANKYOU.
The fdisk/disklabel editors are made in pure ncurses, and follow a model
"a`la spreadsheet".
There are some important functions which are missing still, and I would
appreciate if somebody would look at them.
The FDISK part needs a "whole-disk" option, and it needs a "rewrite
MBR-boot code" option.
The DISKLABEL part needs to be able to "import DOS-partition".
Both need a "HELP" function, (display a file "/HELP" using dialog is OK).
It seems to me like the wd.c and sd.c should reread the physical record
when a DIOCGDINFO is made, so that they can pick up changes in the
MBR-data. Otherwise there will be a couple of weird cases where we
cannot avoid replicating code from the kernel.
If you want to play with this, look at src/release/Makefile. You may need
to step back to version 1.38 of sys/i386/isa/fd.c to make "rootable"
floppies, it is not clear at this time if that indeed is the problem I
have been having.
Sleep well, my friends, and expect the real Alpha in 24H, if the tree is
still solid.
Removed a dialog_clear() which somebody aimlessly had slammed into TellEm()
in absence of any understanding of the structure of this program. :-(
Skip through stage0 for now.
Make write_bootblocks write the disklabel using the kernel-call, and forget
about the boot-blocks for now. This is wrong, but I havn't found the real
problem yet. I will continue work on this problem.
Added a Debug-feature. There is a printf' like Debug() now which sends its
output to ttyv1 (Alt-F2), and all "discarded output" from sub-processes end
up there too. Made TellEm() put it's messages there also, so that we can
see where what happens.
Set the PATH for the shell we shouldn't start at the end :-)
set "npartitions" after the disklabel-editor returns, so that we actually
can edit all the 8 parts of the label.
an array. The bug became obvious in the old system where the array was only
32 characters long (now MAXPATHLEN). Dump honored its name then (:-)
and dumped its core when calling dump -w for a fstab that contained rather long
NFS file system names. Even though this is rather unlikely to happen now,
a bug is a bug:)
Print out summary information on receipt of SIGINFO; also, stop the
kernel printing of information and restore it on exit. Now, it needs
an option to be quiet. ;)
