use them yet, but it's close (we're working on the last wrinkles
in the CD install for now).
2. Complete the CDROM installation strategy code.
3. Simplify the distribtuion loading code.
4. General error message cleanup.
5. Write the /etc/fstab file now and split those routines into config.c
6. Clean up the menus a little more.
disks.c: clrtobot() so that deleted stuff disappears.
disks.c: offset is signed (for OnTrack diskmanager)
system.c: don't setbuf(stdout,0), it's too slow.
Add size argument to new_part, so it can come up with a good default for newfs.
Fix (possibly) a dialog botch after label.c's wizard mode.
Make vsystem even smarter abour crunched binaries (what a speedup!)
(You need to recompile crunchgen !)
Don't notify in vsystem() - it obscures the original message.
Put some debugging code into cpio_extract() so that I can see
why it doesn't work now. :(
as per Andrey's letter. Make a few modifications for correctness.
2. Add Language menu back to first menu - it was too buried in the
Options menu.
3. Add size information to all distributions.
4. Add a compat20 distribution (we need to make one of these!! Any takers? Please?)

2. Don't use russian screenmap - apparently not necessary with right font.
3. Dequote bogusly quoted font name in english language setting.
4. Use setterm() and hack around an undesirable side-effect (cbreak is unset).
5. be smarter about setting OnVTY, and use it in cases where it makes sense.

won't know until Poul wakes up again).
2. Make vsystem() put its output on the debugging fd.
3. DTRT with root filesystem placement - now I see how this has to work
(thanks, Poul).
4. Many miscellaneous spelling errors fixed and general cleanup.
It remains to be seen how successfully. The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle
is as complete as it's ever going to get, modulo possible bug fixes.
The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing
state due to the fact that per-interface information isn't being kept
right now but is being added (thanks, Gary!).
fixed, we should be able to fully set up the user's disk. Still to come
with next commit: filesystem setup, distribution extraction, final
configuration.
nor is it in sync with my working sources, but it leaves me less CVS hassles
to bring in the new files at this time. Still no documentation to translate
quite yet, but soon. This stuff is actually very close now.
o Make the framework generally more robust.
o Figured out how to nest the menu descriptions - no more grotty initialization
of menus.
o Fix bug with helpline and helpfile not being reset.
o Add stubs for the media selection code.
Coming next: Fdisk and disklabel screens using Phk's new libdisk stuff.
more to come in the next 24 hours, this is just the first stable result of
8 hours of hacking so far. The specification format for menus is pretty
much hammered out and the beginnings (very humble) of the doc hierarchy
are present for an example. It should be quite easy to add a lot more
menus quickly to this since I did go somewhat out of my way to make the
framework easy to work with. This is NOT the glorious semi-graphical
sysinstall (or whatever its name will be) that the install-geeks are working
on, this is simply the "son of sysinstall" I've been promising to write in
the interim for 2.0.5 and 2.1R (super install doesn't come until 2.2R).
