e3e653a00b Fix even more lurking bogons - why do I never find these until the last
possible minute? :-)

7315939135 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.

Don't panic when upgrade shell exits.

974442fb7c Put my changes back - Thanks, Peter! Boy, an errant Tag sure can mess
you up! :-)

d1c5935860 Sync with 2.1-stable (I commited my changes there first by mistake due to
an errant CVS tag file).
1996-06-29 02:53:09 +00:00
jkh
88fec0b679 Copy the documentation files up into the release area - I've been doing
this by hand all along.  Silly.

file.

jkh
0b4f57db09 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.

0b28a882bc Uh, this is what I was really thinking when I made the device registration
changes - honest! :-)

0f1f223e21 Dispense with the special case handling of cuaa* devices by synthesizing
separate entries for sl0 and ppp0 on each device.
1996-06-12 17:09:34 +00:00

ac86617459 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.

1c7bdcf987 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.
1996-06-12 14:02:13 +00:00

51d1728214 Put in a strategic dialog_clear() to prevent screen corruption reported
by Joerg.

12eb8bd5bb A slight error in my logic had me using color text attributes on Hercules
monochrome displays.  Whoops!  Fix.

a6ed36e47a Misc doc cleanup. 1996-06-11 08:02:09 +00:00
jkh
8a37c97521 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.

fdecebaa0a Put back some changes I inadvertantly spammed with a cvs update. 1996-06-08 08:01:52 +00:00
jkh
1d0b70fde3 Make CDROMs automagically select as the default media type.
If you're running multi-user, check off items in the packages menu
based on whether or not they're actually installed.

994c6a9cb1 Sha-ZAM!
The root floppy is now gone.  I shall not mourn its passing.
Everything we need is on boot.flp or the bindist.

e1664a9920 Only look at command-line args if we're not running as init - duh!
Thanks, David.

e76b8b78f2 Fixed SRCS so that `make depend' works. 1996-05-24 15:33:25 +00:00

11fb58e39c 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.

f0650b170d 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. :-)
1996-05-16 13:39:08 +00:00

c930abb7de 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.

a7e3c5bdcb 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().
1996-05-16 11:47:46 +00:00

0a48a1418d 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!).
1996-05-09 09:42:17 +00:00

c2b754ad79 Bring in some changes to make the FTP installation warn you if it can't
find the requested release on a given site.

d92d5aec99 Clear the TCP/IP device configuration screen away after we invoke it. 1996-05-02 10:09:45 +00:00
jkh
40bd73b1b7 Fix the last known bogon with the packages menu. It's SNAP time! 1996-05-01 09:31:50 +00:00
jkh
8d98cdb41b Micro tweak for getting the Holographic shell message to stay on the
screen longer.
