Things to do .... in no specific order.

-- On upgrade, remove /usr/include/machine and the machine-

dependent name e.g. /usr/include/i386. On 1.3, machine

is a directory and e.g. i386 is a symlink, whereas in 1.4

the reverse is true. Without this fix, extraction of base

and comp will fail.

-- On error messages, do something to allow the user to

see any errors from anything run by run_prog().

Ideas suggested maximum entropy <entropy@zippy.bernstein.com>.

distribution set from. Maybe just allowing the user to shell

out and look around is good enough (this needs more thought).

-- check for already-mouned fileystems before install newfs.

-- check for already-mounted filesystems before install newfs.

Abort with message.

-- check for already-moutend fileystems before upgrade fsck.

-- check for already-mounted filesystems before upgrade fsck.

(ignore?)

-- check for already-mounted filesystems before upgrade mount.

-- Use bootp or dhcp to get network info (hostname, domain name,

name servers, ...)

-- Things like having config_network()

possibly use the information on the fixed disk instead of having

to ask everything.

and then remove the file before going on to the next set to

save disk space.

-- Add setting timezone

-- Set current time and date.

-- Configure NTP servers, set NTP in rc.conf

Line 88 Things to do .... in no specific order.

Line 80 Things to do .... in no specific order.

Need to patch kernel variable with offset from UTC. Any

other kernel variables we might want to patch as well???

-- A little more clean-up of the run_prog suite so things worke

-- A little more clean-up of the run_prog suite so things work

nicely for all ports.

-- Check-in of files for amiga and other ports that will use

-- fix "disklabel -r -w" vs. "disklabel -w": I still don't grok why

the -r, and the manpage says it will lose totally on sparcs.

Phil, was there some reason to bypass the incore label on i386?

Can we jst do "disklabel -w" everywhere?

Can we just do "disklabel -w" everywhere?

-- Michael bumped the in-memory disklabel struct up to 16 entries.

Also add a runtime check in case that grows in future

(e.g., slices). Maybe bump to 32 entries just in case.

-- Fix sanity-check message code. It currently gets over-written

-- Full configuration of rc.conf?

-- Set root's shell and password

-- Set root's shell

-- If we're doing a fresh install and there's already a label

on the disk, maybe use that intsead of the compiled-in default

on the disk, maybe use that instead of the compiled-in default

label?

-- symlinks for /tmp (/tmp -> /var/tmp or some such)

Or configure tmp on mfs.

-- Add support for SLIP (for pc532) and/or PPP.

Line 123 Things to do .... in no specific order.

-- Install ports packages. (possibly a second program

run after installation.)

-- For dynamic text layout:

* grep for paired spaces.

* messages bootselheader and part_head seem problematic.

* extensive testing.

* some decent way to do table output is important.
