Gentoo Linux Installer TODO
Copyright 2005 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.

If you are working or plan to work on a task here put your name by it.

Things still needing to be done for the BETA release:
        Backend:
                custom network info needs to get sent to the glimd clients.
                percentage partitioning
                netboot image
                Move Bootloader/arch list to IP
                
                In Progress:
                partitioning error checking.
                ???add distcc support (UNTESTED)
                add r_pppoe configuration stuff.
                network mounts into the fstab
        gtkFE:
                listed in fe/gtk/TODO
                add grsec/hardened sources with desc.
                add Other sources option (textbox).
                NON-GENKERNEL support. i.e. config URI  see webgli.
        webgli:
                Restrict portage snapshot if doing dynamic stage3
                default the snapshot uri to the cdrom one.
                load values for client-configuration
Things to put into a later version:
        
Future feature requests:
        
        add auto-update script to crontab once every week.

        god help us if we have to get your printer set up too!
        
Robbat's thing:
        GLIArchitectureTemplate.build_kernel():
                - test with 2.4 kernels
                - Check custom config for correct initrd support when using genkernel
                - might need to pass --evms2/--lvm2/--dmraid to genkernel.


Done:
if you chose to emerge X, have it configured and set to start on bootup (codeman)
lilo fixup (codeman)
Add custom kernel code. (codeman)
Fix bootloader code for udev. (codeman)
Add rest of add_users and fix overwriting user info bug (codeman and agaffney)
Switch most outputs to tty8 (codeman)
custom kernel and kernel bootsplash options. (codeman)
i gotta check for dhcp in the network stuff and emerge it if it is? (codeman)
so 'PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/mnt/gentoo/var/tmp"
  PKGDIR="/mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages" quickpkg xorg-x11' then
  emerge -K xorg-x11 (agaffney)
Add networking setup for CC (samyron!)
dialog progres bar (codeman)
Progress bar. (agaffney)
services step.add coldplug and hotplug when doing genkernel. (codeman)
setting gateway and DNS servers. (codeman)
Make sure partitioning somewhat works. (agaffney)
update partitioning stuff (agaffney) (thank you!)
rewrite install_filesystem_tools() (codeman)
DHCP client-controller side doesn't work. (kindof fixed?)
add steps descriptions and a way for the FEs to show them (agaffney)
Add add_groups to ALL the files (codeman)
Fix the hacked up exception code.
