Thus spake Alexander Langer (alex@usw4.freebsd.org): > Log: > Retrieve tcl interpreter and first script, execute interpreter. 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.
