9faa4e6750 My first round at all the help files needed explicitly by various menus.
Folks - please review these!  I'm quite sleepy at the moment, and I'm
sure that some of this could be worded better.  I'd like to have at least
a reasonable syntax pass over this before handing it off to the translation
folks!  Thanks!  Feel free to commit any changes directly if it's any time
in the next 8 hours, BTW. I won't mind since I'll be asleep!

for the language menu help file.

8fdde019ad Sync up my work for the night. This should implement ALL possible
installation methods and provide a fairly robust set of menu options.
This should also fix a few more bugs on Poul-Henning's latest gripe
list.

d802eeef31 Nuke kernel out of root.flp; it's not necessary since there's already one
in the bindist.  This brings root.flp down to 392K!

b82e26f63a Increase size of MFS filesystem. (You need to remake release.3)
Remove unused devices (*[sw]d*[bdefgh]).
Dont gzip boot_crunch. (This SAVES space on a 4 MB machine, since the
file can be segment can be paged from now.
This (with the kzip patch) makes a 4M machine boot and run again.
Margin in my build is 22 blocks and 9 inodes.
I will look at tgz'ing the help files, we need that.

routine.

2. Improve the tcpip menu slightly.

25fce75ee4 Major cleanup. Mediaroutines now get asked about a file. All the
multi part stuff centralized.
The final check is backwards or something so it always said it failed,
even it it didn't.
Fixed tcpip address check to not be stupid, 10.0.255.1 is legal.

a4b0c879ed 1. Try to work around a bodge in the ftp extraction loop where FtpEOF() was
being called more than once.  Also fix a problem where the URL was getting
   smashed in the environment by copying it to a temporary area before we
   jump up and down on it.

so they don't just come back to a menu again 2 hours later with no idea
what happened with the operation(s) they had in progress.

5662f32138 Fix a bug in the /etc populating copy.
Change root.flp from a new format CPIO archive to a tar archive.
Unless we're willing to change the main tarballs from tar format to
"newc" (or, even better, "crc") cpio format, we need to use one common
one for all and that's tar for now.  Install will now grab "root floppy"
from an ftp site if that's what you've got set.

Fix even more gripes from Poul's list.

P.S.  As soon as I get the distfiles copied over to freefall tomorrow
morning, those of you wishing to test minimal installs over ftp should
be able to do so by grabbing the boot floppy and nothing else.  Keep
your eyes open for my announcement.
