on-board EISA AIC7xxx controller, including a pointer to the
respective FAQ entry.

669ca89787 Fix some very minor cosmetic cruft I couldn't help tweaking when 
I went over the code.

Add shortcuts for addUser and addGroup, documenting same.

Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.

a08645acaf Stomp the 4MB boot floppy and punt on 1.2MB floppy images. It's a battle

17cc23f578 Be more efficient in how we use memory (stumbled across while looking for

3727883bdd 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!

d35ae6be6d 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.

78cf4aee6b 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.

c493900657 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.

1540c7d862 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).

04dca2ca42 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.
