34bee73043 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.

20036679ec 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).

1093963d9f 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.

a090bd867f 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.]

e4df920fb2 Remove some bogosities I introduced with the init file hack (not serious,
just bogus).  Also turn off by default - whoops!

af06a2d9e6 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.

0a66b4f53a 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. :-)

496e7f4568 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.
