9cda130bd2 As Paul has just pointed out, much of my strncpy() usage was either
bogus or overly complex and really needed to be done more consistently
and sanely throughout - no question about it.  Done.

c1ab8b2844 Add Joerg's user management screen for David Nugent's pw(8) program, something
which will also need to be brought in before this screen will work.

Add some commentary about how the slip startup code is bogus.

Steal Joerg's loop for more properly closing all files and graft it into
the EHS startup.  My loop was functional but more bogus.

58e6ff63de Another fixit improvement: add a lame script that pretends to be
tar(1), but actually uses cpio(1).  Many people are getting confused
about the lack of a tar on the fixit floppy, and simply don't know
that cpio can basically handle tar format fine (or they simply don't
know how to invoke cpio).

e267db8a6a Several areas of improvement:
o Incorporate some of Tatsumi's bug fixes.
	o Remove the xperimnt and commerce distribution items; they haven't
	  been actual distributions for awhile.
	o Try to sanitize the device checking code a little more.
	o Cosmetic work on the network code.

8aa0f39a3c I'm feeling charitable, so I'll save the bloatists some valuable wind:
BLOAT! BLOAT! BLOAT! BLOAT!

Yes, but where else to put these stinking compat distributions.  I, for one,
am bone tired of creating them by hand and then having everyone tell me I left
something out/in.  Now any commiter can adjust the list as necessary, and I
forsee this as being so seldom necessary that I've simply committed the
uuencoded tarballs - these are from the last SNAP, and nobody complained
(for once) about that set.

02f6de2f97 Sysinstall now offers the installation of a keymap early in the game!
Not all mappings are supported, most languages come only with one
encoding since this should be sufficient to get up & running in using
sysinstall, and we are already pretty tight on space.  (My previous
commit has already bumped the boot MFS size by another 50 KB for
this.)

This feature requires the `kbdcontrol -L' i've just committed.  Plain
text keymaps and the entire scanner are overkill for sysinstall.

Also updated the list of available keymaps while i was at it.

84ad04f554 Several improvements to the `fixit' configuration:
. Don't gzip the crunched binary by now; it just fits, and execution is
  a lot faster this way (it's truly demand-paged again).

. Add more(1), ft(8), protocols(5), a stripped down services(5).

. Improve the .profile, and make sysinstall actually use it again.

Still no go for a 4 MB configuration though. :-(

35b3921b16 If mounting the fixit floppy fails in the first place, warn the user
but make a second attempt using MNT_FORCE, just in case it has been
unclean from a previous crash.  That's dangerous, but far better than
keeping the despaired user standing in the rain...

(Experienced admins can still fsck it then, and remount.  Others will
either totally crash, or incidentally succeed, without much further
help possible...)

Btw., mount(2) misses the description of MNT_FORCE for the mount
syscall.
