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.

b03b2096b8 Don't freak out at the lack of root/swap/usr if we're running multiuser
and simply adding another disk.

possible minute? :-)

cf1647cd2f Whoops! Now that I'm decompressing docs into /tmp, it's important to
make sure that /tmp is there first! :-)  While I'm at it, clean up the
somewhat inexplicably bogus Mkdir() function.

Add a few strategic screen clears.
Do a lot less wasted screen I/O in restoring screen contents that don't need
restoring.
Use tar instead of cp to back up /etc in installUpdate.
Don't panic when upgrade shell exits.

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.

56a94b026b Some stuff I left out of the last commit - make toggle options toggle
again instead of simply letting you set them and staying that way forever.

061e2fb9a6 Fix a truly stupid bug which broke the package installation menu
for everything _but_ the multi-user case now (it was the opposite before :-).
That means adding packages with the 2.2-960511-SNAP boot floppy is busted. Feh.

dabbacad12 Implement selective text attributes for the syscons vty / vt100 emulator
selection since an attribute which looks good on a color console doesn't
necessarily look good in an xterm.

b53e8a34e6 Sha-ZAM!
The root floppy is now gone.  I shall not mourn its passing.
Everything we need is on boot.flp or the bindist.

2f833c17e4 Have both distribution and package extraction screens display the
transfer speed in KB/sec while fetching stuff; this gives you a better
idea if your link has crashed or is behaving oddly.

e160c5f148 Rethink the previous X distribution change. Including COMPAT_21 is just
bogus, and I think I'll simply see that the X distribtion is rebuilt for
-current before doing another snapshot for it. :-)

cdb7618ef9 Get X user and X developer distributions checked correctly again in menus.
Oh yeah, last commit also fixed (I hope) the /etc/sysinstall not being
written on Custom installation problem.

16185b823a Fix some long-standing malloc bugs in the package handling code (freeing garbage
in one place, leaking memory in another).

Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install.  A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'

Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.

Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat.  Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().

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!).
