* Add `partinfo' type, for description of a single partition,
so we can pass labels by reference..
* Add label.c with label initialization, naive overlap-check code,
and a UI entrypoint edit_and_check_label() which iterates through
checking a label for overlaps, and if any, giving the user the choice of
fixing them or punting back to the main menu.
* Change return type of md_make_bsd_partitions from void to int.
Return 0 if the partition has problems (or the user gave up on it)
and 1 if the partition is completed and looks OK.
* Change install() to check return value of md_make_bsd_partitions().
If it returns zero, print an `abort' message and return to main menu.
* Add label.c to all ports' Makefile.
MD code tested on pmax and cut-and-pasted to other ports.
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.
all pathname-on-server related definitions to MI code, since they are now
defined to be consistent across all platforms. Also, nuke the "rels" global,
since release numbers are now always specified in "long form", i.e. 1.3A
vs. 13A.
Add target.c to Makefiles.
* Minor fixes:
* Fix buglet in disks.c: make sure the target /etc exists before
touching the target's /etc/fstab. (Could be even cleaner.)
* If the target root is on /, don't copy our temporary /etc/resolv.conf
to the target /etc/resolv.conf. (Could be even cleaner.)
* Don't write the DNS hostname into /etc/defaultdomain.
DNS search paths are often not the same as YP group names.
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.
