- added do-not-compress-these (text file) to RPM
- do not compress files of types listed in do-not-compress-these

Mon Sep 9 00:00:00 2002 Hugo Rabson 1.50
- if restoring, don\'t try to find SCSI node of CD-ROM drive; find /dev entry
- during selective restore, skip filesets which don\'t contain relevant archives
- set /dev/null\'s perms to 777, just in case devfs-enabled kernel mangles it
- remove /var/run/
*.pid after restoring
- move spurious lockfiles from /home/
* to /home/
*/.disabled
- ask user to confirm the tape/CD device name
- lots of multitape-related fixes
- added code to autodetect the hardware of the user, if possible
- if isodir does not exist then abort
- more sanity-checking for -d flag
- doubled \'biggiefile\' threshold... to 32MB
- exclude /root/images/mindi
- fixed multi-imagedev bug (Emmanuel Druon)
- unmount/remount /mnt/floppy before/after backing up, if Mandrake
- restructured the source files
- fixed serious bug in line 1546 - should have been !=, not ==; stopped
mondorestore from correctly restoring big files
- added \'#include \' to my-stuff.h
- exclude \"incheckentry xwait()\" from changed.files
- fixed minor bug in find_cdrom_device()
- fixed bug in friendly_sizestr...
- insist on tape #1 when start verifying
- added internal buffering, replacing the external \'buffer\' exe
- if differential backup then don\'t permit formatting or fdisking,
whether Interactive or Nuke mode
- if mondorestore is run on live filesystem (or from ramdisk) without
parameters then mondorestore will ask which backup media (tape, CD, etc.)
was used; it will read the config file from the media and proceed from there
- if tape streamer is softlink then resolve it first
- incorporate post-nuke tarball
- if user doesn\'t specify tape size, proceed anyway; behave intelligently
in the event of end-of-tape
- prefix bkpinfo->restore_path to biggiefile fname before generating
checksum & comparing to archived biggiefile
- if /etc/lilo.conf not found not /etc/lilo.conf.anaconda found
then create a softlink from the former to the latter, to work
around RH7.3\'s b0rken LILO support
- LFS support (mharris, michele, hugo)
- fixed verify bug --- CD#1 was being verified again & again & ...
- differential mode fixed; supported again
- ask user for boot loader + device if not detectible
- list up to 512 files in file selection window at once (was 128)
- better handling of bigfiles\' checksums, perms and owns
- delete final filelist if <=2 bytes long
- if kernel not found and mondo in graphics mode then popup and ask
for kernel path+filename
