2126fabccf Take compat dists out of the canned set - they seem to do more harm
than good, actually, and those who actually need them can select them.

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.

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.

2dc1c61598 Support compressed doc files again.
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.

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.

3ee8cec854 Come up with a scheme for stamping the FreeBSD version number on CDs,
allowing sysinstall to automagically detect, mount and select an
appropriate FreeBSD CDROM as the installation media.  Defining "appropriate"
also requires that you check the version numbers since an older FreeBSD
CD could be in the drive, which is the purpose of this patch.

selection since an attribute which looks good on a color console doesn't
necessarily look good in an xterm.
