that the FTP install doesn't deal with timeouts and hasn't since it was
written. Fixed.
2. Totally eliminate the OptionFlags. I only had to work harder to
sync them with configuration variables, so why not simply always use
configuration variables? This has actually greatly simplified areas
of the code.
o Implement the 2.0.5->2.1 upgrade procedure (gah).
o Bring in Coranth's support for configuration of anon ftp and Samba
plus some changes of my own.
o More attempts to actually write the documentation in english.
o Update docs to contain more 2.1-centric information.
I'm really, truly using it). Allow distribution fetch to get .info
files from the root.flp OR the distribution in question, allowing us
to add flexibility to the scheme. At some point, perhaps soon, the
cached copy should probably go away entirely!
Merge today's work.
Now support an attributes file loaded at startup (true front-loaded install).
Add fuller debugging support to all device I/O routines.
Lots-o-bug fixes.
Document `-d' and `-I'. Add a BUGS section noting that
logging from UDP is an unauthenticated remote disk-filling service,
and probably should be disabled by default in the absence of some sort
of authentication.
Remove the ATAPI kernel hack.
Remove the now-unnecessary work-around for booting root off a slice; it
appears to work just fine now and will confuse a lot fewer folks.
A settable redial timer helps to avoid the problem where both ends
of a link want to dial at the same time and the line winds up busy
for both ends. The process id is logged in /var/run/PPP.system where
system is the name of the called system. When both ends of a link
are running in demand dial mode, you need an easy way to get the pid
of the ppp on the called end so it can be killed and re-started with
-direct or pppd started to handle the incoming ppp session.
2. Add secret description for "set timeout" to man.

o Let tape cpio extract guess type of tape format.
o Hide cursor better in options screen.
Don't gratuitously shutdown network after NFS or FTP install.
Centralize release version string to one location included by everyone.
Bring in new options screen.
