Thus spake Alexander Langer (alex@usw4.freebsd.org):

Very simple. Must be extended later.

fetch(3) can be easily extended to HTTP and such.

I've used #ifdef, so we can keep the setup utility small and the use
simple.

One must then only load _one_ floppy, e.g. FTP floppy, HTTP floppy,
NFS floppy, etc etc, or CD-ROM.

the determination is made in get_interpreter() and get_scripts().

With this, I've split the setup into three main-streams:

a) make a boot-floppy, boot it with bin/setup/setup as init and mount
stuff, setup networking etc etc.

b) extend retrieving of files, depending on installation method
chosen.
Also means to have X11R6 started, if one uses CD-ROM installation.

c) the setup TCL scripts that install the stuff.
