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.

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.
