What if we have a file for every choice in the menu similar to how we select master and optional .bat scripts to today. Like this: -- file one-- :: PARTITION: 14GB for C: Use remaining disk space for D: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk bs=512 count=1 parted --script /dev/dsk -- mkpart primary 0 14GB parted --script /dev/dsk -- mkpart primary 14GB -1s parted --script /dev/dsk -- rm 1 parted --script /dev/dsk -- mkpart primary 0 4GB --file one eof -- -- file two -- :: PARTITION: Install on existing First partition, keep the others. parted --script /dev/dsk -- rm 1 parted --script /dev/dsk -- mkpart primary 0 4GB --file two eof -- Run every line as a system command. If something goes wrong ask the user what to do (ie: Ignore or Continue. Retrying will probably make no sense, but rechoosing from menu could be an idea). This will make it very clear what we are doing, no 'translation' to obfuscate whats going on :-) As a bonus we get a generalized "choose a file-from-menu system" that takes a directory and a search-for-label (ie: MASTER, OPTIONAL or PARTITION) as a argument. > The old "fdisk_cmd" is supported for > elder configurations, but "partition_cmd" overrules it if present. Yes :-) Keep existing code and functions for backward compability, and when we get sick of the old stuff sometime in the future , it probably will be easy to remove it. > > > predosemu_cmd - System command to run before dosemu > > alt_dosemu_cmd - Alternate System command to run in place of dosemu > > postdosemu_cmd - System command to run after dosemu > > I like them.
