implementation.
2. Totally rework device registration. It's about half the size and
more powerful now.
3. Add DOS discovery.
4. Start filling in some of the strategy routines.
5. Another clean-up pass over the menus.
6. Make wizard code use Disk typedef.
If I can get the first strategy routine finished tonite, we should have a working
install (from ftp, at least) this weekend.
as per Andrey's letter. Make a few modifications for correctness.
2. Add Language menu back to first menu - it was too buried in the
Options menu.
3. Add size information to all distributions.
4. Add a compat20 distribution (we need to make one of these!! Any takers? Please?)
Submitted by: Nickolay N. Dudorov <nnd@gw.itfs.nsk.su> & jkh
won't know until Poul wakes up again).
2. Make vsystem() put its output on the debugging fd.
3. DTRT with root filesystem placement - now I see how this has to work
(thanks, Poul).
4. Many miscellaneous spelling errors fixed and general cleanup.
It remains to be seen how successfully. The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle
is as complete as it's ever going to get, modulo possible bug fixes.
The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing
state due to the fact that per-interface information isn't being kept
right now but is being added (thanks, Gary!).
Do another clean-up pass over this, making the generic menu handler much
more powerful (now handles multiple dispatch). A few more menus fleshed
out and the beginnings of the distribution handler committed. Should
be transfering full distributions over in the next commit.
fixed, we should be able to fully set up the user's disk. Still to come
with next commit: filesystem setup, distribution extraction, final
configuration.
nor is it in sync with my working sources, but it leaves me less CVS hassles
to bring in the new files at this time. Still no documentation to translate
quite yet, but soon. This stuff is actually very close now.
o Make the framework generally more robust.
o Figured out how to nest the menu descriptions - no more grotty initialization
of menus.
o Fix bug with helpline and helpfile not being reset.
o Add stubs for the media selection code.
Coming next: Fdisk and disklabel screens using Phk's new libdisk stuff.
Added another couple of menu item types.
Reshuffled the menus and added a few more. Sure wish I could figure out
how to initialize a menu with _one_ initializer rather than two! :(
more to come in the next 24 hours, this is just the first stable result of
8 hours of hacking so far. The specification format for menus is pretty
much hammered out and the beginnings (very humble) of the doc hierarchy
are present for an example. It should be quite easy to add a lot more
menus quickly to this since I did go somewhat out of my way to make the
framework easy to work with. This is NOT the glorious semi-graphical
sysinstall (or whatever its name will be) that the install-geeks are working
on, this is simply the "son of sysinstall" I've been promising to write in
the interim for 2.0.5 and 2.1R (super install doesn't come until 2.2R).
