1. Revamp package installer to use new dependency lists and also
pkg_add's new `read from stdin' mode to prevent a copy of the package
from hitting the disk unnecessarily.
2. More fixes for running "not as init" - don't get upset if CDROM already
mounted, do the right thing instead.
3. If running as init, assume first-time install and _don't show the
(W)rite option in the fdisk screen.
4. Many other little tweaks, some of which will have to wait for fuller testing
until I can create a boot floppy (testing certain system-destroying
features of sysinstall can be a royal pain). Expect some more commits.
This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing. "That's fine by me! I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
use them yet, but it's close (we're working on the last wrinkles
in the CD install for now).
2. Complete the CDROM installation strategy code.
3. Simplify the distribtuion loading code.
4. General error message cleanup.
5. Write the /etc/fstab file now and split those routines into config.c
6. Clean up the menus a little more.
This is getting ridiculous. I may have to put the clear() back
and take the performance penalty, Poul.
Tweak the TCP/IP setup menu to look a little nicer.
Add lp0 to the list of available network devices (it was found before
but simply not described properly).
Justin can see it.
2. Attempt to fix the redisplay problems in label.c some more. Not clearing
the screen each time is certainly faster, but it's causing all sorts of
problems.
of optimizations. Add a check to make sure that root filesystems
are at least 20MB in size (this is just a thumbnail approximation,
and we can revise it later if necessary).
disks.c: clrtobot() so that deleted stuff disappears.
disks.c: offset is signed (for OnTrack diskmanager)
system.c: don't setbuf(stdout,0), it's too slow.
Add size argument to new_part, so it can come up with a good default for newfs.
Fix (possibly) a dialog botch after label.c's wizard mode.
Make vsystem even smarter abour crunched binaries (what a speedup!)
(You need to recompile crunchgen !)
partition editors (ugh). Fix an utterly bogus message (no arguments :)
in dist.c. This should all make Poul a little happier and slide in
before the next CTM update window.
implementation.
2. Totally rework device registration. It's about half the size and
more powerful now.
3. Add DOS discovery.
4. Start filling in some of the strategy routines.
5. Another clean-up pass over the menus.
6. Make wizard code use Disk typedef.
If I can get the first strategy routine finished tonite, we should have a working
install (from ftp, at least) this weekend.
syscons (and/or cons25) at all. This code looked just fine running
on an xterm, but on a console the attributes are all wrong. I
now have to sacrifice some screen real-estate to pring cheesy
`-' characters to accomplish the same thing.
broken in syscons, or at least in the cons25 termcap entry! :-( A_BOLD
won't show up on monochrome adapters (I don't think) but they'd be screwed
anyway since I don't have an attribute to use for them now at all.
won't know until Poul wakes up again).
2. Make vsystem() put its output on the debugging fd.
3. DTRT with root filesystem placement - now I see how this has to work
(thanks, Poul).
4. Many miscellaneous spelling errors fixed and general cleanup.
It remains to be seen how successfully. The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle
is as complete as it's ever going to get, modulo possible bug fixes.
The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing
state due to the fact that per-interface information isn't being kept
right now but is being added (thanks, Gary!).
