f9c6cb18e3 Too many bugs fixed to mention. This code just seems to BREED them.
Many interfaces were also simplified or generally cleaned up in an
attempt to curb this problem.

8ca961b3b4 Sync with today's sources:
o Implement the 2.0.5->2.1 upgrade procedure (gah).
o Bring in Coranth's support for configuration of anon ftp and Samba
  plus some changes of my own.
o More attempts to actually write the documentation in english.
o Update docs to contain more 2.1-centric information.

adfab64be5 Some rethinks on the way the attribute interface worked (now that
I'm really, truly using it).  Allow distribution fetch to get .info
files from the root.flp OR the distribution in question, allowing us
to add flexibility to the scheme.  At some point, perhaps soon, the
cached copy should probably go away entirely!

5326bef3de This mega-commit brings in Jordan's latest sysinstall version..
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...

a9b434857b Minor tweak: Change name of "Master partition editor" to "FDISK partition
editor" here and in the docs.  People have come to understand "FDISK"
as a more generic term and have been complaining that they didn't
equate the "master" partition editor with the old fdisk stage and were
confused.

e68b53ea5f It took a non-native speaker of English to show me that I couldn't
speak english.  In this doc I say that "2.0.5 fills a much needed
gap between 2.0R and 2.1."  No wonder the translators were confused!
I'm trying to say that we _wanted_ a gap between 2.0.5 and 2.1?  That
such gaps are much needed?  Wurgh!  Not what I was trying to say at
all!  It should have (and now does) read: "2.0.5 fills a critical
gap between 2.0R and 2.1."  Critical gap, not much needed. :-)
Translators:  You may wish to adjust your own translations as
well if you tried to translate my original botch!  Send me diffs
