Paul ... after you grabbed the hp300 script for the sparc (and made some MI/MD separation, which I grabbed), I did some more separating. The current hp300 install.sh (and upgrade.sh) *should* be really close to MI, with the exception of specific functions that are clearly commented as being MD. I would propose the following: * src/distrib/miniroot/install.sh - The machine-independent installation script. .'s in machine dependent functions which conform to a well-documented naming convention. * src/distrib/${MACHINE}/miniroot/install.md - machine-dependent functions. Lots of this can likely be shared with the upgrade script, too. (Like, for example, all of the NFS, CD-ROM, FTP, etc functions which are basically identical in the install and upgrade scripts...) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jason R.
