no as a default. Sysinstall should be both less dangerous and less
annoying as a result of this change, though that's just my opinion
(since they're the defaults which annoy ME the least :).
standard or serial. This change needs to be done to the entire system that
depends on this. This way we don't have some code using OnVTY checks
and other doing
strcmp(variable_get(VAR_FIXIT_TTY), "standard") == 0
checks. Also we need to set VAR_FIXIT_TTY to "serial" if we come up on
a serial console.
Also fixed a dialog problem in that dialog was used when dialog was
disabled causing some troubles such as not letting the cursor keys
work when exiting the fixit mode on media (ie. not the fixit shell but
for example fixit on a floppy).

a default. This should prevent people from whacking return at
the Distributions menu and getting nothing selected as a result
(a minimal "standard" system will at least install).

appropriate(?) defaults for "low", "medium" and "high" security
environments. Medium is basically what we currently have with a little
seat-belt tightening where it made sense. Low is the same as medium but
without the tightening. High is positively fascist with nothing turned
on by default and an automatic call to 911 if it can find a modem.
does bad things to /etc/make.conf in certain situations. Also
soften the "don't install crypto from the USA!" messages since,
except for RSA (which is still noted), that's not so true anymore.
IPv6 configuration is only done by rtsol. Does someone really
need manual configuration? :-)
You can specify IPv6 DNS server as well.
We have only one server ftp7.jp.freebsd.org that speaks IPv6
in this time. ftp7.jp speaks IPv4 as well and also listed as
Japan #7.

setting 'usbd_enable' in rc.conf during nwe installs if USB is detected.
Also, since usbd already handles USB mice automatically, note that the
mouse setup section in sysinstall only applies to non-USB mice.

o Allow use of "G" in label editor to stand for gigabytes. This
is actually an unrelated patch which I meant to commit separately
but what the heck, it's late.

as redoing all the menus to have proper, or at least non-hallucinogenic,
keyboard accelerators.
This requires my recent update to libdialog to work properly and will
probably also exhibit some other "interesting" behavior while the last
few missing screen clears are found (which is why I'm not going to MFC
immediately). At least now, however, sysinstall does not gratuitously
redraw random screens at the drop of a hat and drive serial console
installers out of their minds.
I backed-out the changes in -current and didn't touch stable at all (I
thought I had my patch order reversed, not what actually happened).
AIEEE! I can't even blame the crack for this one since I broke my
crack pipe a few weeks ago. I think sleep deprivation gets the blame
for this one.
Medal for noticing this one goes to: Jim Bloom <bloom@acm.org>
bringing in DHCP support. The only thing I left out were Poul-Henning's
newfs changes since I'm not sure if he's brought the rest of that support
into -stable yet. If it turns out that this is the case, I'll MFC those
changes too.
feature of packages now so that no version info is embedded.
o Add a default X desktop menu offering afterstep, enlightenment, KDE, GNOME
and Windowmaker desktops instead of the boring twm(1) based one if the
user so chooses. This will require a little testing.
Now we know which variables are internal and which need to be
backed to /etc/rc.conf.site. rc.conf is not touched now.
Also kget kernel change information back properly and set up a loader.rc
file to use it.
o Move fixups into extraction routine so all consumers don't have to duplicate
the right behavior.
o Make some things more orthogonal (just for asthetics sake)
o Add option to go back and do it again if XF86Setup fails (possibly with
a different setup - this one has always annoyed me).
various ports don't complain about it. It also requires that the pkg
registration bits be stick into the Xbin tarball so that they'll be
present in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/pkgreg.tar.gz. The registration tarball
is removed upon first use to prevent it later spamming a genuine build
from ports if inadvertently extracted again.
probed in sysinstall. Rather than make template devices and use up lots
of inodes, also restricting the number of devices that can be dealt with,
mknod all necessary devices as necessary using built-in information.
This removes a number of constraints on the number and type of devices
that sysinstall can see.
Now you can use one without entering the other and it will DTRT.
These changes just allowed me to do the most straight-forward new disk
installation I've ever managed with sysinstall.
those ideas that, like the Apache server setup, was well-intentioned
but doomed to fail in the face of change. That and the fact that it
shouldn't be part of the installation tool, it should be part of the
post-installation setup tool (which we need to write). Combining the
two utilities into one utility was my first conceptual mistake.
Apologies also to Coranth Gryphon, who worked hard on the Apache
and Samba server setup code. These features were quite useful
for awhile, if that's any consolation, I just simply had the wrong
ideas about where to put them. :-(
