Sysinstall has been repocopied to src/usr.sbin/sysinstall and everything

now uses the sources found there.

In retrospect, msgNotify() should leave its contents on the screen

longer to give the user something to look at while things are happening. Change it to do so and insert the appropriate screen saves elsewhere.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Collapse the "get" code substantially by combining common functions.

Also make mountpoint for each media type easier to change. Also reshuffled some menus for easier usage.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

groan. I broke tape extraction with the same optimization.

1997-01-22T00:27:22Z

Fix that too.

A couple of cosmetic tweaks to tape install method and fstab file format.

Now that I know which parts of the installation really need it (since

there's no menu display bug to work around now), be far more selective in my use of DITEM_RECREATE (which is slow and involves much screen I/O).

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

Do a few things I've been threatening to do for a long time:

1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data. Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose. It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce (or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls. 2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all media types. 3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code. Yay! I ripped something out for a change! #1 Submitted-By: Robert Nordier
