Jordan K. Hubbard 2cf5a4eae1 "addendum" -> "errata" 1997-08-14 07:08:40 +00:00
Jordan K. Hubbard a435592391 Add a SEE ALSO for install.cfg sample script. 1997-08-11 13:20:38 +00:00
Jordan K. Hubbard 86ff624834 Make some changes to the way the label editor reads script variables
so you don't need to re-enter it for each and every filesystem. Heads up!
This change is incompatible with the previous scripting format,
so those folks (all 2 of you) using config files should take a look
at the changes to the sample install.cfg file for the diskLabelEditor's
new calling syntax.

Finally write a man page for this thing, documenting all of the above
and more.  I can't drive a stake through this thing's heart without
properly documenting it first, so please consider this step #1 in that
process (to be honest, sysinstall will also live on for some time in
the 2.2. branch since it's unlikely that the new install tools will ever
make it over there - they're strictly 3.0 material).

Joerg Wunsch ae4efed268 Remove the notixe about top(1) since it's now also part of 2.2.x.
Add the information that we've got VM86 support and dosemu(1) now,
which John D. has apparently fogotten. :)

Joerg Wunsch 980d03ebfb Mention the fix for CA-97.17. 1997-08-08 20:58:50 +00:00
Jordan K. Hubbard 97564a75d4 Back out the changes to set the resolver timeout. All they seem to do
is _break_ dns lookups entirely, and since reading the relevant docs and
source code does not enlighten for now, I'll remove this until more
basic research has been done into controlling the resolver's timeout
values.

Jordan K. Hubbard e5a117774b Fiddle with DNS options so that queries are also controlled by
the MEDIA_TIMEOUT variable.  Just -current for now on this one as
I'm still wanting to play with this a bit and see what the ramifications
of doing this are.

Jordan K. Hubbard b6aad04900 Make serial console based installs actually work by:
1. Detecting the split /dev/ttyv0 / /dev/console case, e.g. you've
   booted with the -h flag and you have a VGA card also.

2. Adding an extra "menu" for selecting terminal type and adding ANSI
   to the list of compiled-in terms.

3. Opening the proper file descriptors before disowning ourselves.

Jordan K. Hubbard 5028762fea Eliminate Samba configuration. Sorry, but this was another one of
those ideas that, like the Apache server setup, was well-intentioned
but doomed to fail in the face of change.  That and the fact that it
shouldn't be part of the installation tool, it should be part of the
post-installation setup tool (which we need to write).  Combining the
two utilities into one utility was my first conceptual mistake.

Apologies also to Coranth Gryphon, who worked hard on the Apache
and Samba server setup code.  These features were quite useful
for awhile, if that's any consolation, I just simply had the wrong
ideas about where to put them. :-(

Joerg Wunsch 1057ab2ee4 Mention new features:
. if_media support (obtained from Jason Thorpe's NetBSD implementation),
. multi-session ISO-9660 support

Move aic6[26]30 and floppy tapes out into an ``unmaintained'' subsection,
so people don't expect the same quality of support for them as for other
drivers.

Our ATAPI CD-ROM driver should no longer be considered ALPHA quality
now, i think.
