32dc5e88bf Stomp the 4MB boot floppy and punt on 1.2MB floppy images. It's a battle
we're constantly losing and will concede for now.  Brilliant ideas
taken at the front desk.

86767547be Be more efficient in how we use memory (stumbled across while looking for
something else) for attributes and variables.

Remove stack-stomper in sstrncpy().

0fd6d431cf Do a few things I've been threatening to do for a long time:
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
   Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
   It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
   (or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.

2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
   media types.

3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
   of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
   Yay!  I ripped something out for a change!

c381383f32 Update to benefit from David's recent changes to pw(8). The most
obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults
will now be displayed while going through the menu, and an improved
error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.

2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.

00b69db338 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.

325403f959 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.

ed228eb646 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).

ba5555f0e6 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.

dc3d7ece3a 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.

9b23ef93f3 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.

518c7f2a9a 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. :-(
