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. :-)

4a2c20ca18 Remove some suspect sector size calculations which are also the source
of some confusing messages from newfs (just judging by the number of people
who point them out, anyway).

9b9952dd90 Fix something I broke with CDROM installation (well, I knew my first
test CD would turn at least one bug up :-).

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.

cc9cfe35b5 Don't freak out at the lack of root/swap/usr if we're running multiuser
and simply adding another disk.

c296a76edd Fix even more lurking bogons - why do I never find these until the last
possible minute? :-)

7e51f09a84 Whoops! Now that I'm decompressing docs into /tmp, it's important to
make sure that /tmp is there first! :-)  While I'm at it, clean up the
somewhat inexplicably bogus Mkdir() function.
1996-07-08 08:54:36 +00:00
jkh
4c968f95bb Support compressed doc files again.
Add a few strategic screen clears.
Do a lot less wasted screen I/O in restoring screen contents that don't need
restoring.
Use tar instead of cp to back up /etc in installUpdate.
Don't panic when upgrade shell exits.

you up! :-)

0d2b2ebbd5 Sync with 2.1-stable (I commited my changes there first by mistake due to
an errant CVS tag file).
1996-06-29 02:53:09 +00:00
jkh
090d9e9546 Copy the documentation files up into the release area - I've been doing
this by hand all along.  Silly.

file.

jkh
a6e6c783ca Don't use some of the low-contrast text attributes I was using before - they
apparently look bad on some LCD screens.  While I'm in there, tweak and adjust
a number of other minor interface details which have been bothering me for
awhile.

7fadbf554c Uh, this is what I was really thinking when I made the device registration
changes - honest! :-)
1996-06-13 17:07:41 +00:00
jkh
019fedf514 Dispense with the special case handling of cuaa* devices by synthesizing
separate entries for sl0 and ppp0 on each device.
1996-06-12 17:09:34 +00:00
jkh
592543e6a0 Some stuff I left out of the last commit - make toggle options toggle
again instead of simply letting you set them and staying that way forever.
1996-06-12 14:20:20 +00:00
jkh
a2ffbe1a9a Fix a truly stupid bug which broke the package installation menu
for everything _but_ the multi-user case now (it was the opposite before :-).
That means adding packages with the 2.2-960511-SNAP boot floppy is busted. Feh.
1996-06-12 14:02:13 +00:00
jkh
83aa0812ab Put in a strategic dialog_clear() to prevent screen corruption reported
by Joerg.

63e012a54c A slight error in my logic had me using color text attributes on Hercules
monochrome displays.  Whoops!  Fix.

8ec53d24df Misc doc cleanup. 1996-06-11 08:02:09 +00:00
jkh
c75ddabf83 Implement selective text attributes for the syscons vty / vt100 emulator
selection since an attribute which looks good on a color console doesn't
necessarily look good in an xterm.

4faf24f33e Put back some changes I inadvertantly spammed with a cvs update. 1996-06-08 08:01:52 +00:00
jkh
2a03e988da Make CDROMs automagically select as the default media type.
If you're running multi-user, check off items in the packages menu
based on whether or not they're actually installed.
1996-06-08 07:02:21 +00:00
jkh
6494b19d73 Sha-ZAM!
The root floppy is now gone.  I shall not mourn its passing.
Everything we need is on boot.flp or the bindist.
1996-05-29 01:35:33 +00:00
jkh
a912abf585 Only look at command-line args if we're not running as init - duh!
Thanks, David.
