0cee912e58 Make newfs options work on rootfs.
Add size argument to new_part, so it can come up with a good default for newfs.
Fix (possibly) a dialog botch after label.c's wizard mode.
Make vsystem even smarter abour crunched binaries (what a speedup!)
(You need to recompile crunchgen !)

3525074d14 Now cpio works for me. (it was Mostly confusion about when the chroot
happened)
Make vsystem crunch aware in an intelligent fashion.
make the boot.flp target more specific (and faster).

cc1f1b8814 Don't clear the screen for every redraw in the disklabel and
partition editors (ugh).  Fix an utterly bogus message (no arguments :)

before the next CTM update window.

71502538f6 Misc cpio evil. I think I'm going to start working locally and just deal
with the diff/CVS hassles - this represents far too many CVS commit
messages for you folks, and trying to document each and every iteration
of the code is a hassle (and not very useful at that).

e6684cda7a Use ppp0 for all serial devices. It's somewhat kludge, but at

f10eb488f6 1. Fix a pathological bug I introduced in msgInfo(). Right idea, wrong
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.

c10caaad51 1. Incorporate Nickolay's ammended patches for Russian screenmap support
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?)

a1bfde73e4 Big Sigh. Both A_BOLD and A_UNDERLINE do not appear to work with
syscons (and/or cons25) at all.  This code looked just fine running
on an xterm, but on a console the attributes are all wrong.  I
now have to sacrifice some screen real-estate to pring cheesy
`-' characters to accomplish the same thing.
1995-05-19 02:19:15 +00:00
Jordan K. Hubbard
f8230b2f5f Switch to bold on the header line - the A_UNDERLINE handling appears to be
broken in syscons, or at least in the cons25 termcap entry! :-(  A_BOLD
won't show up on monochrome adapters (I don't think) but they'd be screwed
anyway since I don't have an attribute to use for them now at all.

a2b4e70705 1. Use 8x16 fonts.

3. Dequote bogusly quoted font name in english language setting.
4. Use setterm() and hack around an undesirable side-effect (cbreak is unset).
5. be smarter about setting OnVTY, and use it in cases where it makes sense.

b2d228d3d7 This will now compile and even scribble helpfully on your disks.
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!).

If anyone wants to translate this into another language, I believe it's
ready.

411bac67a7 Commit my latest changes before having a nap. Still not close to done,
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.

e40a316fcf o Add extra menu types (radio implemented, multiple choice shortly).
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.

ef42570d65 Latest raft of changes.
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! :(

4e278bdb76 Here is my first "framework" commit of the new sysinstall. There is a LOT
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).
