jonathan 06079cb5e7 Expand messages prompting for BIOS geometry; say explicitly that it's
the BIOS that's being asked for, and that the real geometry is for
comparison only.

simonb df9541e68b Move all partitioning menus up by one, and add an entry (two for the
i386) so that the partition menu items match the selector letters).

XXX: All the .fr files need checking - look for the comment
	/* XXX: ENGLISH -> FRENCH */

jonathan 0ed9642fe0 Add menu entries to md_distcustom for installing X11 sets
in menus.md.{eng,fr}, lifted verbatim from Alpha and pmax.
Give last split-floppy for each X11 set, for 1.3.

FIXME: if the number of floppies in any split set changes for 1.3.1,
syinst is hosed for 1.3.1. Same is true for any release: we can't
install from split sets if the count of floppies doesn't match
the precompiled version.

The number of floppies in a split set should be computed dynamically
from a directory listing, or read from a config file in the split
directory.

fvdl 71e91aafda Add option to check for BIOS < 1024 root partition size limit, and
enable the user to re-edit things in case it fails.

fvdl 385f01a1ad Mark partitions as 'set' when changing the type, otherwise the change
will get lost if you only change the type.

fvdl 0cd2d70c37 * Check for an existing MBR not by looking at the geometry, but by looking
at used partitions. fdisk may report the number of cylinders > 1024
  correctly if no translation is used.
* Print out the end of the partition as well as the size when editing things.
* Enable the user to specify the BIOS geometry if he/she wishes.
* Fix 1023 / 1024 mixup. The reason BIOSs will return 1023 is an old IBM
  convention to use the last cylinder as diagnostic cylinder. The user
  can still skip the last ('real') cylinder if specified.
* Make some messages more verbose.

simonb 0c8e3514d7 Reposition some menus (the "change a partition" and "change distribution

line of the screen.

phil af1d23bed3 Import of sysinst. Not quite ready, but other ports want access for
parallel development.  i386 version about 90% complete.  pc532 version
just started, other architectures later in coordination with portmasters.

This is a curses based, menu driven installation program.

Better error checking is needed.
