sysinstall will automatically expand the previous partition to take up
the freed up space. So you can 'D'elete /home and /usr will get the
combined space, or you can 'D'elete /tmp and /var will get the combined space.
This gives the user, developer, or lay person a huge amount of flexibility
in constructing partitions from an 'A'uto base. It takes only 3 or 4
keystrokes to achieve virtually any combination of having or not having
a /tmp and/or /home after doing an 'A'uto create.
Change 'A'uto creation of /var/tmp to 'A'uto creation /tmp, which should
be less controversial.

defaults both in regards to the size of the partitions that are created
and in regards to safety and functional separation.
Still TODO: extend the previous partition to cover a deleted partition
if the previous partiton was auto-created, and supply some sort of
solution for /tmp.

fallback to old code.
2) When fscking filesystems, use 'fsck_ffs' explicitly. As a
result, we no longer need 'fsck' the wrapper program.

with loader(8), we can put back an equivalent feature. Maybe the first

TCP/IP checksum offload, jumbo frames and VLAN tag insertion/stripping

beyond that, driver is pretty solid.

and RTSOL in sysinstall. If the respective TRY_FOO variable is set to
"YES" then it will be tried without prompting the user.
However, if the TRY_FOO variable is set to "NO" then the user will not
be prompted for a choice. This is the correct behavior, since we want
people to be able to script sysinstall in either case.
However, the default TRY_FOO variable has been "NO" since 1999. This
is incorrect, and when the logic was corrected in tcpip.c this has the
effect of never giving the user a choice to use DHCP or IPv6. The
value should be undefined until it is set by a script or by the user.

o Rename "Fascist" to "Extreme" in the source code, to match the names
presented to the user.
o Remove portmap and inetd from profile management. Portmap is now
disabled by default, but automatically turned on if a feature requires
it (such as NFS, etc).
This is an MFC candidate for 4.4-RELEASE.
