actually does work. Ignore errors from kldload(2) if the errno value is
EEXIST. It would help if this return value were documented in the
kldload(2) manual page.
one can set the 'noError' variable to ignore any errors that occur for the
next command. However, the code was only unsetting 'noError' when an error
actually occurred, so if you set 'noError', the next command completed ok,
and the command after that failed, the second command's failure would be
ignored. This fixes this by performing the 'noError' check earlier and
then unsetting 'noError' after every command that is run.

temporarily turn off the nonInteractive variable around the DHCP and IPv6
Yes/No questions in a network device setup so that those questions are
asked.
Also add the ability to use Bzip'ed distributions -- but this is exclusive
of being able to use Gzip'ed distributions.

present, this field specifies the media volume that the disc is
contained on. If the volume of a given packages is different than the
current volume of mediaDevice, then the user is prompted --
"This is disc #%d. Package %s is on disc #%d\n"
"Would you like to switch discs now?\n"
If the user selects yes, then DEVICE_SHUTDOWN is called and the user
is then prompted --
"Please remove disc #%d from you drive, and add disc #%d"
This works well for a carefully crafted INDEX file, but more work
needs to be done to sort dependencies on a given package based on the
volume that they reside on, to minimize the amount of disc flipping
required of the user.
This commit is a no-op for normal INDEX files and FreeBSD CDs. These
additional features are only used if the INDEX and cdrom.inf file have
multi-volume support.
so know we have proper PKG registration and dependency information.
This is a WIP for 5.0 DP #1, so it is still rough around the edges and
does not GC the old XFree86 3.3.6 handling stuff that should be GC'ed.

from CD-ROM in 4-stable. Note that in 5-current, we use devfs so this
change (hopefully) shouldn't change anything.
I'll MFC to 4-stable later.

case of a cross build).
This introduced chicken and egg problem - we need boot images
early in the "depend" stage but they have not yet been built.
Work around this by excluding the generated makeboot.c source
from the "depend" list; it's okay because we hardcode all its
dependencies explicitly. We actually lose the dependency bit
on <sys/types.h> but it's probably okay too as the only thing
we use is the u_char datatype and this is unlikely to change.
After all, it's normal for sloppy cleaning to cause problems.

all facilities that previously relied on /proc have been rewritten
to use ptrace(). procfs has presented a substantial security
hazard for years, with several user->root compromises in the last
few years. Procfs will continue to be available but will require
administrator intervention to use.

attention to the sub-optimal way that we deal with package
dependencies. Traditionally, for each package in an INDEX that the
user wants to add, we check all of the dependencies first even if the
package is already installed. With some GNOME packages, this can
cause package_extract to be called for 50 different dependencies when
we know the top level package is already installed.
The new behavior is to not check dependencies for packages that are
already installed. This fixes a bug where sysinstall gets itself into
a CPU intensive loop when trying to install sawfish gnome with the
most recent ports/INDEX. There is a bug somewhere in the ports INDEX,
but with over 6,400 ports we need to be a little more forgiving here.
