8055777430 It's easier to go forwards than backwards with this, and the RELENG_2_1_0
sysinstall was already broken (I think there's a PR for this somewhere).
This will require some additional changes elsewhere, like bringing in pw.

5214787fd5 OK, I've got two ideas to file in the "really seemed like a good idea
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).

76d01c999a This is a patch that makes some of the "partitions" --> "slice" to be
more consistant in our use of the terms for differentiation between PC
partitions and traditional BSD partitions.

a0e47058d0 Fix a variety of problems with my timeout handling, make it more
configurable (you can now set the timeout interval), fix a crash-bug
when no network device was attached.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
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.

2ce9c19184 1. Take out console setup in options now that Joerg has moved it into
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.

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.

8658743f95 A number of improvements in the way statistics are printed, add a "chroot"
option for installing distributions and/or packages to somewhere other than /,
say for a case where you're installing to an external disk on some other
machine's behalf.  More miscellaneous fixes to various problems I stumbled
across while adding this stuff.

bd71bd2513 Don't use some of the low-contrast text attributes I was using before - they
apparently look bad on some LCD screens.  While I'm in there, tweak and adjust
a number of other minor interface details which have been bothering me for
awhile.

necessarily look good in an xterm.

0502c52ac9 Some cosmetic changes:
Make "selection bar" inverse video white-on-blue on color screens to avoid
it getting muddled up with popup dialogs.

Do disk selection in a more friendly fashion (for one thing, allow a
drive to be de-selected again if you change your mind).

Add a few strategic screen-saves to prevent corruption of screen contents
(thanks, Michael Elbel!).

18b1c03d52 Quite a few changes:
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.

2113a60c4b Bring this into sync.
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!

af4cbec4e1 1. Update all the copyrights to delete useless clauses 3 and 4.
2. Change more of the menu code over to new system.
3. Streamline label editor.

957bdf511e Major surgery.
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.

1babea36ca Lots-o-cleanup(tm):
1. Fix the bogon I introduced that made some root filesystems fail to be
   made with `unable to make filesystem on sd1s1a' or some such error
   message.

2. Latest installment in the never-ending chapter on making FTP do the right
   thing on a cruel internet.

3. Make `express install' a truly express install and split off what it used
   to do into a `novice install' that's even more geared to the novice
   by asking questions in order, rather than forcing them through the menu
   interface.

4. Make anonymous FTP setup truly DTRT.

5. Build lndir directly into sysinstall and make the novice install offer
   to set up the ports tree.  Also make the ports setup truly explanatory
   about what it's doing, and always link the ports destination to /usr/ports
   if necessary so that bsd.port.mk doesn't need to be tweaked.

7dace4c581 1. Of course, the day after you roll the snapshots is the day you realize
that the FTP install doesn't deal with timeouts and hasn't since it was
   written.  Fixed.

2. Totally eliminate the OptionFlags.  I only had to work harder to
   sync them with configuration variables, so why not simply always use
   configuration variables?  This has actually greatly simplified areas
   of the code.

adfab64be5 Some rethinks on the way the attribute interface worked (now that
I'm really, truly using it).  Allow distribution fetch to get .info
files from the root.flp OR the distribution in question, allowing us
to add flexibility to the scheme.  At some point, perhaps soon, the
cached copy should probably go away entirely!
