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:
                FIX UP LILO
                GLIArchitectureTemplate.build_kernel():
                        - test with 2.4 kernels
                        - Check custom config for correct initrd support when using genkernel
                        - hotplug/coldplug are NOT always needed with genkernel.
                        - might need to pass --udev/--evms2/--lvm2/--dmraid to genkernel.
                        - Source might not be in /usr/src/linux
                In Progress:
                Fix the hacked up exception code.
                secondary progress bar and X of Y for emerge notifications
                partitioning error checking.
                add distcc support
                add r_pppoe configuration stuff.
                network mounts into the fstab
        DialogFE:
                support for /etc/portage/*
        gli-dialog: 
        - functions left to code:
                IP's __init__
                save_install_profile
                make partitioning mountpoint choice a menu.
        - then i need to do these:
                line wrap runthrough
                add etc/portage support
                finish make.conf conversion for last menu.
        gtkFE:
                listed in fe/gtk/TODO

Things to put into a later version:
        
Future feature requests:
        
        add auto-update script to crontab once every week.
        if you chose to emerge X, have it configured and set to start on bootup
        god help us if we have to get your printer set up too!
        

Done:
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)
