editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option.
(1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and
NEWFS_CUSTOM. Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use
soft updates on an msdos file system.
(2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from
replacing it. Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for
NEWFS_UFS. If we entirely replace the command line provided by
sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM. 'N' will now add additional
arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely,
but will prompt the user with their current command line as a
starting point.
(3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options
provided by the user at label-time. Right now, this means selecting
UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag. Drop in some variables
to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't
expose them now.
This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing
of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user,
but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command
line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor. It
also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and
define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections.
For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root
only on non-i386 systems.
While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes,
since newfs has much more sensible defaults now.

o Mount the EFI file system as msdosfs and not ufs as it's a FAT
file system. Introduce Mount_msdos() for this to go side-by-side
with Mount().
o Also, since mounting is performed as a command (which means it's
queued, sorted, lost, found and executed), we cannot create a
directory on the file system by calling mkdir. We must make sure
the mkdir happens after the mount. Introduce Mkdir_command() to
allow mkdir operations to be queued, sorted, lost, found and
executed as well.

- Tweak the message prior to the label editor in the !WITH_SLICES case to
make it slightly less awkward since this is the first dialog we see after
starting an install.
- Only offer to customize syscons settings if WITH_SYSCONS.
- Offer to enable Linux compat if WITH_LINUX. Before we only did this for
i386.
- On the alpha, offer to enable OSF/1 compat after asking about Linux
compat.

partitions marked as being of type efi. This change adds code to
1. actually run the newfs command at mount time (install.c),
2. display the newfs state on screen (label.c)
3. allow toggling of the newfs state (label.c)
Even though newfs(8)-ing FAT partitions can be of use on i386
machines in general, it has been opted to minimize impact for
now.
With this change there's no a priori difference between EFI and
FAT partitions. With this change and the corresponding change to
libdisk, we can create EFI partitions, just like regular FAT
partitions.

* Treate sparc64 and ia64 as 64-bit platforms, which means larger roots.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.
This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

schemes is raised.
have a USB mouse. Here's the deal on how this works: USB mouse have
moused run for them automatically by usbd so we don't need to setup moused
for them. We do need to setup moused for other mice though, so if the
user has a USB mouse, we don't need to do anything. Hence the wording
"Do you have a non-USB mouse installed?" for the question. The question
can be reworded as "Do you have a PS/2 or Serial mouse installed?" instead
if that is preferred.
sysinstall will automatically expand the previous partition to take up
the freed up space. So you can 'D'elete /home and /usr will get the
combined space, or you can 'D'elete /tmp and /var will get the combined space.
This gives the user, developer, or lay person a huge amount of flexibility
in constructing partitions from an 'A'uto base. It takes only 3 or 4
keystrokes to achieve virtually any combination of having or not having
a /tmp and/or /home after doing an 'A'uto create.
Change 'A'uto creation of /var/tmp to 'A'uto creation /tmp, which should
be less controversial.

and RTSOL in sysinstall. If the respective TRY_FOO variable is set to
"YES" then it will be tried without prompting the user.
However, if the TRY_FOO variable is set to "NO" then the user will not
be prompted for a choice. This is the correct behavior, since we want
people to be able to script sysinstall in either case.
However, the default TRY_FOO variable has been "NO" since 1999. This
is incorrect, and when the logic was corrected in tcpip.c this has the
effect of never giving the user a choice to use DHCP or IPv6. The
value should be undefined until it is set by a script or by the user.

by providing the opportunity to edit inetd.conf during the system
installation process. The following modifications were made:
(1) Expand the Anonymous FTP description dialog to indicate that inetd
and ftpd must be enabled before it can be used.
(2) Introduce a new configInetd() pair of dialogs, the first describing
inetd, giving a couple of examples of services that require it, and
hinting at potential risk, then asking the user if they wish to
enable it. The second indicates that inetd.conf must be configured
to enabled specific services, and asks if the user would like to
load inetd.conf into the editor to modify it. Add this
configuration action to the index.
There are some further improvements that might be considered:
(1) Provide a more inetd.conf-specific configuration tool that speaks
inetd.conf(5). However, this is made difficult by the "yet another
configuration format" nature of inetd.conf, as well as its use of
commenting to disable services, rather than an in-syntax way to
disable a service without commenting it out. Submissions here
would probably be welcome.
(2) There's some overlap between settings in the somewhat obtuse
Security Profile mechanism and other settings, including the inetd
setting, and NFS server configuration. As features become
individually tunable, they should probably be removed from the
security profile mechanism. Otherwise, somewhat counter-intuitively,
sysinstall (in practice) queries multiple times whether inetd, nfsd,
etc, should be enabled/disabled. A possible future direction might
be to drive profiles not by degree of paranoia, rather, the set
of services desired. Or simply to remove the Security Profile
mechanism and resort to feature-driven configuration.
