I'm extremely interested in this; does "whiptail" use a more decent
way of returning the data selected by the user than dialog did? I did
some work on re-writing the network config tool, but got lost in a
twisty maze of return values and stderr output.

boot-floppies progress

[Bruce Perens]

I just finished patching "newt" so that "whiptail" works as a complete
replacement for "dialog", using s-lang instead of ncurses. I had to hack
"modconf" slightly (because it used leading "-" in menus, and that won't
parse), but it now works with "whiptail". We now have all of the boot-floppy
components working with s-lang, but we have not yet assembled the floppy.

boot-floppies progress

[Bruce Perens]

We made a lot of progress on the boot floppies over the weekend, but they
still don't work. I expect to have them working in a few more days.

Thanks
