1.7 22-May-2022 jmcneill

Restore Makefile.installimage include after variables are set. Makes amd64
USB install images bootable again.


1.6 08-May-2022 mrg

fix building amd64 with USE_XZ_SETS=no.

bump the size of images if USE_XZ_SETS != no. consolidate a lot of
the code between installimage/Makefile and installimage-bios/Makefile
into installimage/installimage.mk.


1.5 03-Jan-2022 martin

There is no point in putting a second sysinst binary into the install
image's root filesystem.


1.4 31-Dec-2021 pgoyette

Still not big enough - bump some more.


1.3 30-Dec-2021 pgoyette

With recent changees to debug kernel stuff from Christos we are
once again pushing the size limit. Bump it again.


1.2 26-Dec-2021 pgoyette

Once again things have grown, so the install image allocation size
needs to be bumped.

XXX There's gotta be a better way to maintain this! :-)

branches: 1.1.2;
Restore having a BIOS-only amd64 USB image.

Several people reported having hardware that struggles booting the mix
EFI+BIOS image, and it's better to offer them a working image.

Keeping the EFI image as having the obvious name, this is going to become
more likely to work by default as newer hardware may not support BIOS boot.

1.3 16-Jan-2023 abs

Enable basic command line editing in amd64 installer shells

When a user selects "exist installer" or hits ^Z in sysinst, the
calling install.sh runs a shell, plus shows a message indicating
they can type "exit" to return to the installer.

Add -E to the arguments to this shell, to enable command line editing,
(primarily for arrow keys, but basic emacs sequences will also work)

At this point this is only on amd64, as this is the port which is
least likely to be installing on particularly esoteric terminal
hardware, and is also likely to have the highest proportion of less
experienced users
