you really should not be changing the geometry values, unless they
look totally ridiculous due to some BIOS bug.
Disable manual entering of initial partition label values when doing
a custom label. The step was redundant. Just go to the label edit
directly, leaving everything but the c and d partitions empty.
seperate booleans. Add flags to run as a plain 'system()' command,

programs messing with term settings better.

This function is (unfortunately) a verbatim copy of realpath() from libc,

no sense in installing plain GENERIC, especially on "tiny" systems;
it may not even make it far enough to add swapspace on 4M machines.

enabling and disabling swap. Enabling swap is currently only
done by the i386 port on systems with <= 8M of physical memory.
If a user re-enters the install procedure through the main menu,
and the target disk has an active swap partition, try to disable it,
warning the user that this might lead to 'out of swap' problems,
making a restart necessary. This should not happen very often.

I'm not totally happy about this, but my concience is somewhat salved by the
overall reduction in breakage.
Initially only pmax, sparc, vax and x68k are using bsddisklabel.c.
While I'm here adjust defs.h for more than eight partitions in a generic

Shouldn't bother doing DNS lookups or wait a really long time,

forward them on to subprocesses. nice when running a subprocess in

should be handled.
