6914768e93 Yow! Ok, distributions should now be fully auto-checksumming, provided
that Poul builds the rest of the dists properly.  I'll run this over the
XFree86 dist, but the rest will be up to him.  Check bindist rule for
the single line to add - it's trivial.

8f00e74801 Eliminate the use of cpio in extraction. The stupid thing whines too much,
and it doesn't support --unlink.  I think it's time to nuke cpio completely
out of the installation process, unless someone can think of a really good
reason to keep it (and don't say multiple volume extraction since we a) don't
use it anywhere anyway, and b) tar supports that too, now).

f3ac09ee9a 1. Split these scripts into smaller distinct functional units that will
be callable _after_ installation in 2.1's system admin tools.  This is
   almost totally revamped now.

2. Support installation from DOS partition or floppy.

3. Many stray bogons eliminated.  Perhaps a few introduced.  One more
   rev should fix this up, once I've spammed my test machine a couple of
   times.

4. Installation from CD now *really* possible.

5. Allow user to specify arbitary subdirectories for NFS mountpoints -
   UFS, NFS and CD distributions now share many common elements.
