commandlines for all tar operations. (work supplied by Matt Green)
2) Update arch/*/md.c to deal with new sysinst/run.c. Special case
anything that needs to do a redirect or a pipe.
3) #if 0 some unused code in target.c. This code will need to be updated,
or special cased with do_system.
Big thank you to Matt for all his work on this.
Scripting and logging functionality for sysinst.
Child programs are run in a "display window" so you can actually see what
they did before the screen flashes back and you loose it all.
Lots of curses fixups. Removed nasty endwins that mangled the tty upon
rentry.
Change the yes/no box to accept Y or N, and not require cursor motion to
decide one or the other.
Perform curses redraws when doing things that could cause the kernel to
spew printfs onto your screen.
- don't use sysinst yet, it's not ready for the sparc, go back to
the old miniroot install programs.
- add these programs:
- pppd (nice to install from an SS2 with local floppy & modem only)
- bzip2 (media may be bz2'ed in the RFSN future)
- edlabel (much ligher weight than disklabel)
- expr (miniroot)
- hostname (miniroot)
- netstat (miniroot)
- sort (miniroot)
- remove these programs:
- tset (not used)
- strings (too big now)
- slattach (who uses slip these days, *really* ? see pppd addition)
- disklabel (see edlabel addition)
- shutdown (have reboot/halt already)
- sysinst (not using it yet)
- grow the install filesystem a bit more, to facilitate the new programs.
- use gordons libhack stuff, to reduce the size of the install binary.
- don't need /etc/master.passwd or the {s,}pwd.db files anymore!
- clean up dot.profile a bit.
