95742f4173 1. If device node already exists, don't gratuituously try to make it 
again.

2. Don't create slice entries when running multi-user; it adds far too
   much to sysinstall's startup time.  User is expected to have correct
   slice entries after system is installed.

5dad274682 Update to XFree86 3.3.2 - I had to remove the entries for the VFB and 
PRT servers since the extra PC98 servers have eaten all my flag bits.
Time to redo the way distribution masks are calculated, definitely, but
for now I guess people can always install those two components by hand
if they really want them.

d5cbea7e97 Form device names correctly with new unit# syntax. 1998-02-10 18:43:11 +00:00
Jordan K. Hubbard
59617ad4b8 Totally change the way that devices are made in the MFS and subsequently 
probed in sysinstall.  Rather than make template devices and use up lots
of inodes, also restricting the number of devices that can be dealt with,
mknod all necessary devices as necessary using built-in information.
This removes a number of constraints on the number and type of devices
that sysinstall can see.

86ff624834 Make some changes to the way the label editor reads script variables 
so you don't need to re-enter it for each and every filesystem. Heads up!
This change is incompatible with the previous scripting format,
so those folks (all 2 of you) using config files should take a look
at the changes to the sample install.cfg file for the diskLabelEditor's
new calling syntax.

Finally write a man page for this thing, documenting all of the above
and more.  I can't drive a stake through this thing's heart without
properly documenting it first, so please consider this step #1 in that
process (to be honest, sysinstall will also live on for some time in
the 2.2. branch since it's unlikely that the new install tools will ever
make it over there - they're strictly 3.0 material).

5028762fea Eliminate Samba configuration. Sorry, but this was another one of 
those ideas that, like the Apache server setup, was well-intentioned
but doomed to fail in the face of change.  That and the fact that it
shouldn't be part of the installation tool, it should be part of the
post-installation setup tool (which we need to write).  Combining the
two utilities into one utility was my first conceptual mistake.

Apologies also to Coranth Gryphon, who worked hard on the Apache
and Samba server setup code.  These features were quite useful
for awhile, if that's any consolation, I just simply had the wrong
ideas about where to put them. :-(

so that we're more useful in multi-user mode.  This is still not

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).

898f607a63 Argh! Moving the media initialization to before the disk scribbling 
section was a good thing, since it made it possible to detect media problems
*before* the installation started, but it also caused various things to
be mounted BEFORE the chroot() call, which definitely messes things up.

Fix this by detecting the pre-chroot() case and mounting into a subdir.
