CVS log for install/fsedit.c

Committing more last-minute bug fixes/cleanup.


dgatwood@mklinux.org

A little cleanup.  This re-instigates the error message if you use disk
druid in non-read-only mode (which obviously won't work right).  This
also changes the copyright dates to 2000, and shortens the copyright
line in stage 2 (removed Red Hat copyright, shortened Association to
"Assn.").


dgatwood@deepspace.mklinux.org

This should fix the last of the known issues.  Problems with multiple
drives showing up as having the same structure were fixed yesterday.
Geometry information may still be fictitious and/or garbage, but at
least the total size will be right, as this is now being obtained
from pdisk.  I will build a vmlinux+installer from this code base as
soon as possible.


dgatwood@mklinux.org

This should fix all problems except for a very strange quirk if the
partition type field for some partition contains a space.  In that
case, that partition will have kind of a weird mac_type field, and thus
the type column in the partition table display will also be weird.  Oh,
and I'll rip out the printf's and 10 second delays in a minute.


dgatwood@mklinux.org

Some changes to the installer.  I haven't had a chance to test these to
see if they work, but I want to make sure that they're committed first,
just in case this attempt hoses up my machine.  (I'm test-running the
installer on a live machine, so....)


dgatwood@mklinux.org

Oops.  Forgot to commit this fix last night.  This should fix the crash at
the partition screen.  A binary form of the stage 2 image is already on
ftp.mklinux.org and should make its way to the mirrors soon.


dgatwood@mklinux.org

Massive cleanup.  Also committing changes from Greg Noel
<GregNoel@san.rr.com>.  This should fix the installer for IDE and stuff,
but I haven't tested it yet.


dgatwood@mvista.com

This is not completely tested (I haven't actually done an install), but
it appears that these changes fix IDE support in the installer.  At least
there's valid data as far as the section that lets you tell where you
want to mount partitions.  I'll do a complete test later.  Anyway, this
was another one of those large-scale code stripping operations....  :-)


dgatwood@mklinux.org

These changes _still_ don't make IDE work as an install target, but it's
a heck of a lot closer.  Now it's getting as far as letting you pdisk the
partitions, but when you are supposed to configure what gets mounted where,
it never gets to the screen that asks for mount points and stuff.  That
should be the last major hurdle, AFAICT.

BTW, IDE drives should already work fine as an install source.


dgatwood@mklinux.org

When the installer tries to open the drive, it does a get geometry
ioctl, which fails, which causes it to close the file descriptor,
and everything is hosed from there.

Further, the Mklinux IDE patch had several unnecessary lines (redundant)
and thus wasted memory and time.  This should improve things ever so
slightly.
