Use f_show_msg() instead of f_dialog_msgbox() where appropriate. The main difference between these two functions:
Usage: f_show_msg() $format_string [ $format_args ... ] Usage: f_dialog_msgbox() $text [ $hline ]
The former lends itself well to displaying the $msg_* i18n text, prompts, etc. While the latter is better for text you do not control (error strings captured as a response from external commands) -- or if you have to control the hline.

Import media selection/preparation framework (sysinstall inspired). Makes accessing files from various types of media nice and abstracted away from the wet-work involved in preparing, validating, and initializing those types of media. This will be used for the package management system module and other modules that need access to files and want to allow the user to decide where those files come from (either in a scripted fashion, prompted fashion, or any combination thereof).
Heavily inspired by sysinstall and even uses the same reserved words so that scripts are portable. Coded over months, tested continuously through- out, and reviewed several times.
Some notes about the changes: - Move network-setting acquisition/validation routines to media/tcpip.subr - The options screen from sysinstall has been converted to a dialog menu - The "UFS" media choice is renamed to "Directory" to reflect how sysinstall treats the choice and a new [true] "UFS" media choice has been added that acts on real UFS partitions (such as external disks with disklabels). - Many more help files have been resurrected from sysinstall (I noticed that some of the content seems a bit dated; I gave them a once-over but they could really use an update). - A total of 10 media choices are presented (via mediaGetType) including: CD/DVD, FTP, FTP Passive, HTTP Proxy, Directory, NFS, DOS, UFS, Floppy, USB - Novel struct/device management layer for managing the issue of passing more information than can comfortably fit in an argument list.
