there's no menu display bug to work around now), be far more selective
in my use of DITEM_RECREATE (which is slow and involves much screen I/O).

Print better FTP failure diagnostics
Do better media failure checking in install.

bogus path and FTP I/O errors much earlier, offer retry possibilities
at steps along the way so you don't have to resume from the very beginning
again on a hard error.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

common layout code into some work functions and make all the layout-using
routine adopt them. Also reorganize includes and generally clean up.

if wrong version.
2. Make sure network device is initialized in ftpInit
3. Eliminate bogus size values in the menus. For now, we'll have to admit
that nobody's added it up yet. In the future, these menus should be
build dynamically anyway, not declared static.
4. Add more debugging to networking code to chase the mystery ppp device
problem.

1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
(or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.
2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
media types.
3. Taking advantage of #2, start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
Yay! I ripped something out for a change!

This should also fix a few more bugs on Poul-Henning's latest gripe
list.

1. Fix a few bugs in the ftp installation code and implement proper
ftp and network shutdown routines.
2. Clean up the menus a fair bit - add a FreeBSD configuration menu.
3. Eliminate the last of the "chaining" - the installation now does
the most obvious thing in the most obvious cases and doesn't present
you with more menus than you were expecting. This makes it necessary to be
a little more explicit in places, but it's still less confusing.
4. Add a few more safety nets for the user. Change a few hard-and-fast
limits to warnings (it now runs as non-root, Bruce).
5. Add descriptions for all the supported ethernet cards.
6. Make the cpio floppy extract put up a menu requesting the drive you wish
to use if you have more than one; don't just always assume drive A.

Add testftp: target
ftp.c:
add more debugging output and fix a few more problems
media_strategy:
make the ftp system actually do something resembling common sense.
it now works after a fashion, although it soon falls over for some
reason.

for it. The ftp installation method is working well enough to test.
Many more bug fixes, says Gary.

use them yet, but it's close (we're working on the last wrinkles
in the CD install for now).
2. Complete the CDROM installation strategy code.
3. Simplify the distribtuion loading code.
4. General error message cleanup.
5. Write the /etc/fstab file now and split those routines into config.c
6. Clean up the menus a little more.
