a7ca701dd5 1. Use dynamic sizing code throughout.
2. Add support for *dist menu to have an up-to-date idea of how big each
   distribution is going to be.

26dafa244c 1. Use cpio instead of tar again. Bruce's comments made me paranoid.
2. Invoke sub-scripts using absolute paths.

403695a4c2 Eliminate the use of cpio in extraction. The stupid thing whines too much,
and it doesn't support --unlink.  I think it's time to nuke cpio completely
out of the installation process, unless someone can think of a really good
reason to keep it (and don't say multiple volume extraction since we a) don't
use it anywhere anyway, and b) tar supports that too, now).

6f2263602c 1. Split these scripts into smaller distinct functional units that will
be callable _after_ installation in 2.1's system admin tools.  This is
   almost totally revamped now.

2. Support installation from DOS partition or floppy.

3. Many stray bogons eliminated.  Perhaps a few introduced.  One more
   rev should fix this up, once I've spammed my test machine a couple of
   times.

4. Installation from CD now *really* possible.

5. Allow user to specify arbitary subdirectories for NFS mountpoints -
   UFS, NFS and CD distributions now share many common elements.

df17864f4f There were some bogons with redirection to /dev/ttyv1 lurking here.
Fix them.

but at least the code is smaller!

53656a24f8 Add cu (and cu slip dialog) so that poor SLIP users can dial their modems
before initiating a slip transfer.

8c7bac183a Add de0 to list of ethernet drivers. This list will be dynamic shortly..
Add an interrupt handler for trigger-happy users.
Add domain to resolv.conf
More general cleanup in preparation for this script being split into
several scripts.

66792bd003 [Changes are now for BETA]
This attempts to make the installion a little less grating by not
clearing the screen every time a like-sized dialog is going to splat
on top of another one.  If you don't want the screen to clear, set
clear="", otherwise leave it set to (or set it back to) "--clear".

It can't be set to "" all the time since then small dialogs appearing
on top of big dialogs look funky.

4d9a756705 Remove ppp from the list of options - we don't even have ppp in the default
kernel, and ppp people can generally use SLIP.

A few more formatting changes.

Make slip installation work.

190a4a536b Use mount_nfs directly for NFS install.
Add mount_nfs to the cpio floppy.

Thanks, Michael R.!

da7f7b9ca0 Add full support for NFS installation. Add support for CD installation,
even though we don't use it yet (I may burn some one-offs tonite though! :-).

9be726e286 Remove the redirects for extract.sh. Upon further reflection, you
need to see the output on the main vty.  cpio likes to open /dev/tty
for its output! :-(

b3781565cd 11th hour fixes to get the install just right. Fix some bugs
in how ftp transfers were done, make sure all output goes to /dev/ttyv1
for debugging, add in the parallel-IP support so Poul will stop
squeaking (for the moment, anyway).

fb58a50cf4 Sorry about last commit message (or lack thereof) - slip of the fingers.
Adjust the docs to point out how to get a sub-shell during the install.
Add an entry for the PCMCIA ethernet driver.

f72104d1a8 Trim back the confirm dialog.
Increase the amount of space available to the ethernet setup dialog
Put in a last parting-shot dialog telling you to run tzsetup, and promising
to do this for you later.
Adjust flags to ifconfig - they were bogus.

23908b32ad 1. The gzip'd docs aren't going to work - there's no scroll-back for
process output dialogs (or any way to stop the output, for that matter!).
2. Install the very first cut of my bininst stage6 script.  VERY rough,
   it doesn't actually do anything just yet, but I need to make sure that
   it's at least executed for the moment.
