c8de1e0212 Rate limit the "xxx bytes read from" message to a maximum of one per
chunk or one per second, whichever is less.  Outputting this message once every
couple of K was really crazy on a 9600bps serial console.

41b018dd0b If we're running through the FTP setup dialog the *first* time, skip
the FTP path if we've already configured one (this allows preconfigured ftp
servers).

09bef27f97 If we're unable to open /dev/ttyv0, assume that we're on a single tty system
and use /dev/console.

I really think the proper test is to determine which device has been configured
to be the console (remember the RB_SERIAL flag?) and use it instead of always
trying to open /dev/ttyv0 first.

5319e113eb If /install.cfg exists on the local floppy (or if LOAD_CONFIG_FILE is defined
and the user inserts a floppy), read the config file to pre-define variables
for a custom installation.

[Note: I fixed one bug in LOAD_CONFIG_FILE code, but it's still not perfect.]

4f68a706f2 Remove some bogosities I introduced with the init file hack (not serious,
just bogus).  Also turn off by default - whoops!

a19596c5a8 Close PR#1542. Don't just assume 24 lines, get the tty size.
Some things may still display text on the 24th line, but that's because
they've always been screens designed to fit into a minimal real-estate
and have hardwired assumptions about the dimensions.  They'll be a little
harder to make dynamic.

e35a083cf9 Damn - looks like upgrade got broken along the way and it's not something
I usually test, so... :-(  Guess we'll have to slide the tag forward on
these two files - Peter, could you do the honors?  I've been up for the last
30 hours or so and I just *know* that any attempt on my part to do this would
probably end up deleting the entire repository somehow. :-)

chunk rather than distribution - it's just caused the numbers to fluctuate
too wildly, sorry Peter! ;-(

dab0e70808 Remove some suspect sector size calculations which are also the source
of some confusing messages from newfs (just judging by the number of people
who point them out, anyway).

8658743f95 A number of improvements in the way statistics are printed, add a "chroot"
option for installing distributions and/or packages to somewhere other than /,
say for a case where you're installing to an external disk on some other
machine's behalf.  More miscellaneous fixes to various problems I stumbled
across while adding this stuff.

cf1647cd2f Whoops! Now that I'm decompressing docs into /tmp, it's important to
make sure that /tmp is there first! :-)  While I'm at it, clean up the

2dc1c61598 Support compressed doc files again.
Add a few strategic screen clears.
Do a lot less wasted screen I/O in restoring screen contents that don't need
restoring.
Use tar instead of cp to back up /etc in installUpdate.
Don't panic when upgrade shell exits.
