o Caution against use of `W' options in label/partition screens (dangerous!)
o Make various types of debugging dreck conditionalize on DEBUG flag
o Make a fake /var/db/mountdbtab file so new system doesn't complain
o Apply uniform permissions to entire /usr/X11R6 tree.
o Set erase character to ^H for all interactive commands.
o Don't panic if user exits upgrade shell, reboot.
o Document dangers of `W' options in help screens also.
1. Fix the bogon I introduced that made some root filesystems fail to be
made with `unable to make filesystem on sd1s1a' or some such error
message.
2. Latest installment in the never-ending chapter on making FTP do the right
thing on a cruel internet.
3. Make `express install' a truly express install and split off what it used
to do into a `novice install' that's even more geared to the novice
by asking questions in order, rather than forcing them through the menu
interface.
4. Make anonymous FTP setup truly DTRT.
5. Build lndir directly into sysinstall and make the novice install offer
to set up the ports tree. Also make the ports setup truly explanatory
about what it's doing, and always link the ports destination to /usr/ports
if necessary so that bsd.port.mk doesn't need to be tweaked.
o Lots of documentation fixes.
o Rename FTP active to "FTP" and explain passive mode better.
o Make tcpip screen a bit more friendly.
o Literally dozens of nits.
2. Fix an infinite recursion bug in FTP retry. Tricky, this FTP install!
3. Add messaging routines for scripts.
4. Fix yet more bogons. I think I'm fixing them faster than they're growing,
but it's hard to say. I'm really glad we're throwing this code away for
2.2!
don't bogusly restore the screen to the message that was the cause of the
abort. That resulted in lots of weird flickering dialog boxes that appeared
to be displayed out of sequence.
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.
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.
methods. This should make the process rather more robust in the face
of entropy.
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.
This looks like it was developed offline, and is being spammed over the
top of the existing. "That's fine by me! I dont really care how you do
it, just get it in there..." said Jordan in a conversation a short while
ago...
editor" here and in the docs. People have come to understand "FDISK"
as a more generic term and have been complaining that they didn't
equate the "master" partition editor with the old fdisk stage and were
confused.
on me:
1. Mark Murray's eBones patches.
2. Joerg's German docs + fixes.
3. Various sysinstall bug fixes from me + Mark's eBones menu changes.
4. Steven G. Kargl's doc fixes.

speak english. In this doc I say that "2.0.5 fills a much needed
gap between 2.0R and 2.1." No wonder the translators were confused!
I'm trying to say that we _wanted_ a gap between 2.0.5 and 2.1? That
such gaps are much needed? Wurgh! Not what I was trying to say at
all! It should have (and now does) read: "2.0.5 fills a critical
gap between 2.0R and 2.1." Critical gap, not much needed. :-)

as soon as you can. Thanks!
