     953- --text-mode forces Mondo Archive to use text only (no newt or ncurses)
     954- the deprecated scripts have now been disabled
     955- boot floppy will use 'safe' LILO calls; boot CD will use 'fast' LILO calls unless --broken-bios is supplied in call to Mondo

     1012- if user changes a partition's device, change it in raidtab too
     1013- don't extrapolate from /etc/raidtab to /tmp/mountlist; editor does it already
     1014- don't backup /tmp (somewhere in the v1.3x series, I stopped excluding /tmp)
     1015- cosmetic fixes to mondo-prep.c and mondo-newt.c
     1016- put quotes around chmod's parameter
     1017- subtract 5 percent from reported maximum storage capacity of drives, when checking that the parttions will fit; some drives lie about their max cap
     1018- stablilo-me no longer tries to mark partitions as bootable
     1019- better exclusion of /var/log/pacct
     1020- tape users can now use --verify to verify archives w/o rebooting

     1033- log_it() makes sure it only writes one \n on the end of each logged line
     1034- detects if user is using GRUB/LILO/other; abort if neither LILO nor GRUB
     1035- passes the boot loader's name and device to Mindi, to be available at boot-time
     1036- if user successfully restores using Nuke or Interactive w/o error then Mondo generates a random message, basically saying, "Cool."
     1037- enlarged afio's "-M" parameter from 12M to 16M
     1038- if stablilo-me fails then restore the original lilo.conf and fstab before offering user the opportunity to edit them (Dean Carpenter)
     1039- added ISO Mode, to let user restore from ISO images in directory
     1040- cosmetic fix to compare/restore phase windows

     1043- cleaned up compare + restore logging
     1044- scratchdir is now [path]/mondo.scratch.$$; was just [path]/mondo.scratch
     1045
     1046v1.31 (2001-12-04)
     1047- turned on '-Wall' to find cruft; found lots of it; cleaned it up
     1048- exclude each device's lost+found directory
     1049- mountlist editor now permits advanced editing of RAID devices
     1050- fixed a silly bug that was causing freeze-up on <1 percent of systems; if biggielist was empty then sometimes mondo-archive would freeze when backing up big files (cos there weren't any *g*)
     1051- partition and set type in 2-stage process (was 1-stage)
     1052- cleaned up Compare Mode's logging a bit, to make it more legible
     1053- don't report changed archives as 'errors' but as 'differences'
     1054- exclude ext3's .journal files from backup (yes, this time I really do)
     1055- '--my-kernel SUCKS' has been replaced with '--my-kernel FAILSAFE'
     1056- softlink mondo-restore to /usr/bin/ before calling Mindi, so that Mindi can pick up mondo-restore and its depdendencies easily
     1057- copy mondo-restore to Mondo's temp dir before calling Mindi
     1058- don't try to compress MP3's, MPG's, WMV's or RA's
     1059- cleaned up mondo-newt.c; alphabetized the subroutines; moved some tools from there to mondo-tools.c
     1060- mondo-tarme and mondo-restore are now compiled as dynamic executables; I have amended install.sh and mondo-1.31.spec accordingly
     1061- now make boot/data floppies at end of backup, not beginning
     1062- backup in alphabetical order now, not reverse-alpha
     1063- if Compare Mode reports changed files /var/* and /etc/mtab only then tell the user their archives are good despite the differneces
     1064- cut back on excessively verbose logging at backup-time
     1065- when vacuum-packing a partition, describe it as "(max size)", not "(0 MB)"
     1066- if swap is already mounted, don't abort: just say, 'swap already mounted'
     1067- when unmounting all devices, don't try to unmount something if it's not even mounted; if it's not mounted, say so but don't try to unmount it: you'll just end up looking very silly :)
     1068
     1069v1.30 (2001-11-28)
     1070- I have reorganized the C code, sorted the subroutines alphabetically, and re-jigged Mondo's installation routines (inc. the RPM spec file) to reflect the changes
     1071- check for mondo-restore's presence; if absent then abort & ask user to check to see if Mondo was installed properly
     1072- always exclude /var/log/pacct from backup
     1073- optimal set size is now 24MB
     1074- install.sh will abort w/error if compilation of mondo-* fails
     1075- after creating the mountlist, put a copy in Mondo's tmp directory
     1076- each ext3 filesystem has a .journal file in its base directory; Mondo will now exclude each of these journal files automatically
     1077- use the archived copy of LILO, not the copy from the restore-time ramdisk, to configure the MBR
     1078- size_of_file() now returns long long, not long
     1079- find mondo-archive and set MONDO_PATH accordingly
     1080- scratchdir is /home/mondo.scratch by default
     1081- at backup-time, run mondo-restore in test mode to make sure that the executable is sane & will run OK at restore-time
     1082
     1083v1.19 (2001-11-14)
     1084- tested on Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2; backup,wipe,restore went OK
     1085- fixed a bug in is_this_device_mounted()
     1086- at restore-time, always check for presence of decompressor; abort if notfound
     1087- run 'chmod -r 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp' after restoring
     1088- fixed bugs in Compare Mode:- - missing else{} - erroneous 'cannot add archive' error; res+=retval should have read retval+=res (Tony Kim)
     1089- use 'umount /mnt/cdrom' instead of 'umount /dev/cdrom', to make it compatible with busybox's umount command
     1090- fixed bug in mondo-archive which stopped Mondo from pausing to retry if the CD/ISO fails the verification phase
     1091- modified compare_all_tarballs() in mondo-restore.c
     1092- if running interactively then offer to modify fstab and lilo.conf if user says s/he has modified the mountlist
     1093- if mondo-tarme segfaults (as it does, on a _very_ few systems) then Mondo picks up on the fact & reports it
     1094- when restoring, create /mnt/RESTORING/tmp before _and_ after restoring data, just in case it is necessary; also set permissions okay
     1095- C code is now compiled 'O0' (without optimizations)
     1096- each CD's slices were being listed to screen; now, piped to /dev/null
     1097
     1098v1.18 (2001-10-28)
     1099- changed minor error in documentation (mondo-archive's --help output)
     1100- improved Mondo's compare phase for tape users
     1101
     1102v1.17 (2001-10-20)
     1103- the deprecated scripts now work with LZO
     1104- if mondo-restore cannot mount all devices, it will _unmount_ whatever it did mount, before it returns an error
     1105- works with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel
     1106- cosmetic change to output (no more 'burning first/last CD' msgs)
     1107- abort if user uses '--use-lzo' but doesn't install LZO(P) first
     1108- changed --differential's \( and \) to ( and ) <-- thanks, Michael Moellney)
     1109- added Marcus Oberhumer's LZO to Mindi and Mondo; use '--use-lzo' switch to activate this groovy new compression algorithm; it is not as efficient as bzip2 but it is can take up to 50 percent less time than bzip2 to compress data
     1110- incorporated Bruno Cornec's "--cd-recovery" patch
     1111- at restore-time, set biggiefiles to +x
     1112- set optimal fileset size to 16MB (was 8MB)
     1113- don't report non-existent differences/errors between archives and filesystem
     1114- fixed bug in --differential switch (Michael Moellney)
     1115- scripts will no longer function unless gawk and printf are included in Mindi's deplist.txt; add them if you want to use the scripts
     1116
     1117v1.16 (2001-10-10)
     1118- default scratchdir is `pwd`/mondo.scratch.$$ (was mondo.scratch)
     1119- when asking user to send me a log file, warn them that the log file may contain information which they do not want me to see but point out that I cannot help much unless I have a copy of their log file
     1120- when comparing to or restoring from tape, only update the progree form if/when I've just restored files; otherwise, I would screw up the time est.s
     1121- increase afio's block count from 256 to 1024 when restoring from tape
     1122- plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
     1123- when restoring or comparing, track progress by the archive# (N out of M), not by the file#; the former is more reliable and useful than the latter
     1124- has been tested successfully with the following distros - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel --- tape / CDR - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel --- tape / CDR
     1125- tape streamers are now supported; use the '--write-tapes <dev> <sizeMB>' switch, e.g. --write-tapes /dev/st0 4096
     1126- LVM support is stabilizing
     1127- when mounting/unmounting partitions to be restored, don't forget to mount/unmount the swap partitions
     1128- when zeroing a drive, use plain old C fopen/fputc/fclose, not 'dd'
     1129- after restoring data and running LILO, unmount (as usual) and then run label-partitions-as-necessary, to set the ext2fs LABELs if it is appropriate
     1130- fixed bugs in selective restoration scripts and executable
     1131- fixed silly bug in hack-lilo; bug was triggered when I moved to Mandrake 8.1; bug caused '/dev/fd0' entry in lilo.conf to become corrupted
     1132- if user tries to make a bootable rescue CD with the '--no-bkpath' switch then politely direct them to Mindi :-)
     1133
     1134v1.15 (2001-09-28)
     1135- serialized the call to mondo-filelistchop.c; helps to improve visual feedback (yeah, sounds weird but it's true)
     1136- the switches --differential and --exclude-paths should play nicely now
     1137- improved the logging a bit, esp. when ejecting or unmounting CD's
     1138- improved the visual feedback (specifically, the bar and percentage figures indicating time spent & remaining)
     1139- experimental LVM support
     1140- fixed 'cannot eject CD' bug, which was caused by busybox's sync & umount
     1141- fixed mount-me to allow for mountlists with >1 spaces between columns
     1142- fixed documentation; param is --my-kernel <path>, not kernel-path <path>
     1143- fail if user runs mondo-archive _from CD_; this is for the user's protection
     1144- fixed silly bug in mount-me (a crucial line was disabled)
     1145- working on stablilo-me, hack-lilo and hack-fstab to make sure they work with the new, busybox-based Mindi v0.41
     1146- Mindi v0.41 is very different from v0.40, internally anyway; so, I had to do a lot of testing to make sure Mondo would play nicely with the new Mindi
     1147
     1148v1.14 (2001-09-18)
     1149- if verify is enabled then verify each CD/ISO after writing it
     1150- fixed a quasi-bug in mondo/mount-me; this script used 'sort +1' which is not supported by busybox; I've changed it to just plain old 'sort'
     1151- Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
     1152- fixed bug in 'biggify-me' script; now, checksums will be verified
     1153- fixed bug in checksum comparison code (mondo-restore.c)
     1154- reimplemented '--verify' switch; now, user can verify ISO's or CD's against the live filesystem, just for 'belt and braces' emotional security
     1155- improved the error-reporting at restore-time (if tarball cannot be accessed)
     1156- if user does not specify CD-R(W) drive's speed or device then Mondo will try to locate the drive and will assume 4x speed
     1157- user may now type 'edit-mountlist' after booting, if they want to edit the mountlist without risking accidentally wiping their hard disks
     1158- fixed a few silly typos in the error messages in mondo-tarme
     1159- updated the FAQ
     1160- added code to verify ISO images
     1161- used 'blank=fast' instead of '-blank fast' for backward-compatibility with older versions of cdrecord
     1162- if nonzero value returned by Mondo, then Mondo creates a mondo.err.$$.tgz tarball containing log files & stuff, which it tells the user to e-mail me
     1163- when debugging, don't pause before running mondo-tarme; just run it
     1164- automatically exclude any file including '/vmmhiber.w9x' in its pathname
     1165- added Minix support (although I doubt anyone needs it)
     1166- ported mondo-tarme to C - prettier interface at run-time (backup), giving better feedback - obviates a mysterious, intermittent bug in bash itself - shows ' percent done' when burning CD
     1167- afio now has a 12MB FIFO buffer (was 16MB)
     1168- cdrecord now has a 20MB FIFO buffer (was 24MB)
     1169- wipe [CD]/usr/share/mondo, as well as floppy images, if CD #2 or later
     1170- up to 19 CD's may be created now
     1171- fixed the 'stderr.txt not found' loop error in mondo-tarme.c
     1172- fixed the weird 'segfault on finish() after archiving' bug
     1173- modularized the install.sh and mondo-1.14-x.i386.rpm compilation sections
     1174
     1175v1.13 (2001-09-01)
     1176- fixed some compiler warnings in mondo-newt.c; rearranged some code
     1177- mondo-tarme now uses -M 16m -t 4k in its call to afio, to improve performance
     1178- fixed mondo-restore.c's mkreiserfs call; ditto, prep-me's mkreiserfs call
     1179- fixed mondo-restore.c's compare_a_biggiefile() subroutine, which would generate erroneous error messages
     1180- fixed mondo-archive.c's restore_a_biggiefile() and restore_all_biggiefiles() subroutines; I can't get them to break but others can, so I've streamlined the code to make them easier to debug and in theory more stable too
     1181- fixed 'hack-fstab' to make sure that non-LABELed partitions are correctly moved/changed, etc.
     1182- fixed the 'space in big filename' bug (I think)
     1183- make Interactive Mode sort the mountlist (by partition size) before creating the dirs and mounting the partitions to them
     1184- fixed a slew of bugs related to Red Hat's LABEL= extensions
     1185- cleaned up mondo-restore.c and mondo-newt.c; replaced lots of arbitrary limits and lengths with a small number of #define's
     1186- added some sample RAID0/1/5 raidtab (config) files to restore-scripts.tgz, which will be restored to the ramdisk's /etc dir when the user boots from the CD; this will only take up an extra 50K or so & will help any user who is moving from non-RAID to RAID
     1187- changed FIFO size to 20MB
     1188- only use the VFAT kludge on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1; otherwise, even if the partition type is VFAT, do a regular mkfs.vfat
     1189- if mkfs.vfat doesn't exist, use mkfs.dos
     1190- only try to add 'LABEL=' to ext2 and ext3 partitions
     1191- moved a bunch of scripts from Mindi's rootfs.tgz to our restore-scripts.tgz
     1192- fixed bugs in mondo-restore.c, which would sometimes just sit there when trying to compare or restore big files that were spread across CD's
     1193- Interactive Mode goes straight to 'mondo-restore --interactive' now, i.e.  the user doesn't have to choose Interactive once at boot and once within mondo-restore
     1194- better post-run clean-up
     1195- improved mondo-restore.c's error-reporting a little bit
     1196- stablilo-me (the script) now supports Red Hat's "LABEL=" extensions to /etc/fstab, via the script, 'label-partitions-as-necessary'
     1197- added a user-friendly mountlist editor to mondo-restore.c
     1198- added lots of sanity-checking to mountlist editor
     1199
     1200v1.12 (2001-08-18)
     1201- changed cdrecord's FIFO size to 8MB
     1202- removed -pad and -sort from the call to mkisofs
     1203- amended the .spec file to be saner when building RPM's
     1204- archives are named '.afio.bz2' instead of '.tar.bz2'
     1205- mondo-archive, mondo-tarme, mondo-restore.c and the DEPRECATED scripts have been amended accordingly
     1206- should be able to create up to 20 CD-R's per backup set now
     1207- moved a line within prep-me that was in the wrong place (thanks, Fran Boon!)
     1208- runs 'df -m' and saves it to a text file 'df.txt' on the CD
     1209- added 10-second delay before mondo-restore's Nuke Mode, to let the user abort
     1210- really fixed the '/mnt/RESTORING/tmp' permissions bug (thanks, Ang Tan!)
     1211- sometimes, bash gets all screwed up & won't let the user type 'continue' when Mondo asks them to; if that happens, Mondo will detect it & use a different kind of mondo-askme; the new mondo-askme will check every 10 minutes for a blank CD; if it's there, then the burn continues
     1212- abort if isodir or scratchdir is a softlink
     1213- replaced mondo-askme with a good shell script, to work around flaws in bash and/or kernel (don't know which)
     1214- added a failsafe kernel to Mindi, which means you don't have to make sure your kernel is suitable for a boot disk; you can just use Mindi's instead
     1215- make+chop filelist _after_ calling Mindi
     1216- updated the FAQ
     1217
     1218v1.10 (2001-08-12)
     1219- changed cdrecord's FIFO size back to 4MB
     1220- added -pad -sort to the call to mkisofs
     1221- stop saying, "N files differ so far" after comparing each tarball
     1222- updated the FAQ, to remind users that they can boot from floppy images if their kernel does not have the right support of CD-ROM's, filesystems, etc.
     1223- erroneous error-reporting by /mondo/biggify-me; fixed (David Granz)
     1224- don't estimate the time remaining unless >20 sets processed already
     1225- default set size (uncompressed) is now 8MB (was 12MB); when 8MB, seems to run more smoothly & a little quicker, too, at restore-time
     1226- chmod 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp after restoring/creating /tmp
     1227- dropped mondo-askme.c; using regular 'read' instead
     1228- mondo-restore.c uses newt instead of ncurses; much prettier that way
     1229- cdrecord now uses a 16MB FIFO buffer (was 8MB)
     1230- fixed floating point error in mondo-restore (when showing progress)
     1231- when mondo-restore is called without params (e.g. by Interactive Mode), it lets the user choose between nuke, interactive or compare (or abort)
     1232- updated the FAQ
     1233- working on Cuckoo Mode...
     1234
     1235v1.09 (2001-08-02)
     1236- default compression level is now 3 (was 2)
     1237- retry/fail/abort loop bug fixed
     1238- calls mindi with "--custom $TMP $scratchdir/images" to force mindi to use my temp dir and to put the images in my 'images' folder
     1239
     1240v1.08 (2001-07-28)
     1241- offer to Retry/Fail/Abort if an error occurs when Mondo tries to burn a CD-R
     1242- warn if kernel is 2.4.[0-5] (could have buggy loopfs code)
     1243- tested with RAID-5 --- works fine :-)
     1244
     1245v1.07 (2001-07-22)
     1246- fixed cosmetic mistake in an error msg in mondo-tarme ('continue'-related)
     1247- hack-fstab now uses "defaults 0 0" instead of "default 1 3" when making a new entry in /etc/fstab
     1248- /mondo/restore-me always makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp; so does mondo-restore.c
     1249- cosmetic changes to mondo-restore.c's screen output
     1250- RAID-related enhancements to mondo-restore.c - RAID bkp/restore appears to be stable - it is possible to move from non-RAID to RAID by backing up, wiping, creating /etc/raidtab, modifying /tmp/mountlist.txt and then restoring - mondo-restore.c works well - the only weakness is that the kernel's messages are written to the current console, not to a separate console... HELP? :-)
     1251- updated README (esp. FAQ) and TODO
     1252- tested with Linux 2.4.7; works fine
     1253- mondo-1.07.spec and install.sh compile every C program with -lncurses, just in case some programs (besides mondo-restore.c) need the NCURSES library
     1254- mondo-restore.c is now compiled statically
     1255
     1256v1.06 (2001-07-19)
     1257- now software-RAID compatible
     1258- install.sh only compiles mondo-restore.c once now
     1259- if scratchdir or isodir contain more than one path (each), abort
     1260- mondo-restore.c creates dummy partitions if the user starts the official etc/fstab table at /dev/hda7 or something; so, partitioning should work, even if the mountlist has some gaps
     1261- for each /dev/md* device in the mountlist, run raidstop before mkraid
     1262
     1263v1.05 (2001-07-16)
     1264- patch from DoJ to make install.sh compile with -O2, not -O
     1265- cosmetic changes to the biggiefile-slicing code
     1266- fixed install.sh
     1267
     1268v1.04 (2001-07-15)
     1269- make-me-bootable only "boot-makes" each partition ONCE now
     1270- cosmetic changes to mondo-restore's logfile output
     1271- mondo-restore.c makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp if necessary
     1272- should be able to cope with Red Hat's "LABEL=" messages in /etc/fstab
     1273
     1274v1.03 (2001-07-14)
     1275- looks for /etc/lilo.conf; aborts if it cannot locate it
     1276- abort if burning CD's & verify level>=2 (must be 1 or 0 if burning CD's)
     1277- catch errors in MakeIsoFS, if any
     1278- added 'mondo-restore.c'
     1279    - C program, to replace the old restore scripts
     1280    - Mindi will incorporate it in the data disks, if it can find Mondo - Mindi will also incorporate the old restore scripts (from Mondo) just in case the new C program doesn't work
     1281    - calls the script, 'stablilo-me' to run LILO if desired
     1282- added 'restore-scripts.tgz', which contains the /mondo scripts that used to live in Mindi; now, Mindi grabs them from here if necessary
     1283- cleared up Mode-related scripts & the executable to replace them
     1284- if mkisofs fails, ABORT, don't just warn
     1285- added '--differential' option, to backup the files changed during the last N days (N specified by user)
     1286
     1287v1.02 (2001-07-07)
     1288- retract the CD tray after asking user to enter 'continue' (PauseAndAskForCDR)
     1289- uses C program instead of bash loop for PauseAndAskForCDR; some bash versions go into an infinite loop for no reason; hopefully, outsourcing to C will help
     1290- when slicing, indicate progress ("N slices...")
     1291- when told to '--burn-cds', Mondo pipes mkisofs's output to cdrecord, instead of saving the ISO file to disk first; this change will save time and space (not in the Star Trek sense, however *smile*)
     1292- default set size (native) is now 12MB
     1293- copy /usr/share/mondo to correct directory within CD
     1294- all calls to gawk have been replaced with calls to awk
     1295- RPM and SRPM published
     1296- delete $TMP at end; don't just delete $TMP/*
     1297- can accept multiple parameters in the '--bkpath' switch
     1298
     1299v1.00 (2001-07-04)
     1300- thanks to recent changes to Mindi, Mondo is now compatible with the filesystem formats JFS, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS and ext2 (if your own kernel is)
     1301- CDs [2-N] do not have boot floppy images on them; only CD#1 does (although CDs [2-N] do have the El Torito boot image, just in case...)
     1302- modified the --burn-cds switch; now it takes 3rd param, 'cdrw' (optional) to let you wipe and rewrite CDRWs instead of wasting CDRs ;-)
     1303- removed that PID thing; doesn't work; please don't run Mondo twice at once :)
     1304- removed that "filenames contain '|'" error & associated problems
     1305- got rid of 'UNSAFE' warning/shortcut
     1306- removed --xerox-dev, --include-tarball, --skip-tildes, --ide-opt, --use-bzip2
     1307- mondo-archive doesn't make/hack/edit mountlist anymore; that's Mindi's job
     1308- uses Mindi Linux to make boot disks & data disks based on your distro
     1309- boot&data stuff goes in $scratchdir/images now
     1310- bzip2 is used by default to compress archives
     1311- don't make MD5 checksums if verify_level==0
     1312- when archiving, make N.tar.bz2 and cklist.txt (tarball+checksums) in parallel
     1313- at end of mondo-archive, remove scratchdir and TMP completely IF they were created by Mondo (e.g. /home/mondo.scratch or /home/tmp.mondo.12345)
     1314- fill CD/image up to 1MB less than its max size; was being filled up to about 8MB less than its max size, which wasted 8-10MB of storage space per disk
     1315
     1316v0.99 (2001-03-15)
     1317- /proc and /tmp removed --- i.e. added to exclude list :)
     1318- Mondo now uses 2.4-series kernel and modules (Bruno Cornec)
     1319- minor typos fixed (Bruno Cornec)
     1320- older, restore-related fixes merged w/Bruce's work (Maciej Kulasa)
     1321- better RPM spec file (Bruno Cornec)
     1322- incorporated Mondo v0.977's restore scripts' bugfixes (Maciej Kulasa)
     1323
     1324v0.981 (2001-03-06)
     1325- put 'dd' in coolstuff.tgz (Art Wells)
     1326
     1327v0.98 (2001-02-28)
     1328- INSTALL script renamed to install.sh
     1329- tarball cleaned up and re-tarred (Art Wells)
     1330- trailing CR/LF's cleaned from scripts (Art Wells)
     1331- work is underway to make Mondo compatible with the Linux kernel's 2.4 series
     1332
     1333v0.977 (2001-02-26)
     1334- based on v0.976
     1335- missing subs and silly typos fixed in restore scripts (Maciej Kulasa)
     1336- fstab files containing NFS mounts are handled properly (Petre Scheie)
     1337- Mondo is being actively developed again (yippee!)
     1338
     1339v0.976 (2000-09-01)
     1340- technical changes - 12MB ramdisk - repackaged: now, Mondo comes in big tarball/RPM with all overhead-files - each Mondo CD has a 15MB administrative overhead; used to be 50-60MB - definitely 386-compatible now (RH 6.2 binaries) - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (2.2.16) kernel w/ReiserFS & Supermount - modules.conf / conf.modules support (whichever you've got) - user may include their own copies of modules, if Mondo doesn't come with the requisite modules already
     1341- extra facilities - ReiserFS support - '--load-modules <foo> <bar> ...' will allow you to force Mondo to load key modules at boot-time, e.g. aic7xxx for SCSI-only users
     1342- bugfixes - path-exclusion code (mondo-backup) - bogus 'flaws=1' message has been eradicated - CDRW-finding code is now much better at finding the CDRW correctly - dummy burn mode is working again - fixed security hole (thanks, Matija); now, user will be warned if Mondo is configured to execute /tmp/mondo-tarme - changed lots of 'grep " $string "' to 'grep -w "$string"' (thanks, Matija)
     1343
     1344v0.975 (2000-07-03)
     1345- made mondo-tarme use 'ask-me-a-question' to pause for new, blank CD-Rs
     1346- don't deeply search isodir for ISO files to wipe: maxdepth should be 1
     1347- 386-compatible kernel and modules (should be, anyway...)
     1348- applied Doug Nordwall's calc-disk-size patch to fix SCSI hdd size calc'n bug
     1349- applied Michael Ralph Pape's SCSI (2nd floppy) patch
     1350- removed devdump from overhead-list
     1351- mkisofs no longer called with '-quiet' switch
     1352- changed '--burn-cds' format: now it's --burn-cds <speed> (<device>)
     1353- added '-L' to LILO's call, so that >8GB hard disks overcome 1024-blk limit
     1354- mondo-compare runs check-mountlist-sanity before mounting partitions
     1355- ramdisk is now 14MB
     1356
     1357v0.972 (2000-06-16)
     1358- auto-archive, mondo-archive and mondo-tarme updated to make them more friendly towards mult-disk sets
     1359- if multiple CDRW drives, user is asked which mondo-archive should use
     1360
     1361v0.971 (2000-06-14)
     1362- auto-archive now passes CD size to mondo-archive
     1363- mondo-tarme, in conjunction with auto-archive, now handles CDRW boot/burn sharing much better than before
     1364
     1365v0.970 (2000-06-10)
     1366- kernel now creates 12MB ramdrive (was 16MB)
     1367- lots of silly bugs & overhead problems fixed; 2nd floppy closer to working
     1368- restore scripts all log to /var/log/mondo-restore.log
     1369- auto-archive:- - offers Low, Medium or High compression - no longer needs a spare hard drive for scratch space; uses loopfs on existing hard drive (if possible) instead - handles weird (multi-CDROM) PCs more gracefully now - handles PCs with CDRW but without CDROM more gracefully now - deletes each ISO after burning it to a CD-R (if it _is_ burning them) - asks if PC is old & crappy; if it is, IDE optimizations are disabled at backup-time and restore-time - lets user use CDRW for booting _and_ burning, thanks to reroute-softlinks
     1370- selective restore is finally fixed
     1371- nicer help screens on boot floppy
     1372
     1373v0.965 (2000-06-03)
     1374- 2MB of space left empty at end of every CD (e.g. 650MB is only 648MB full)
     1375- Suzhe & Lonius's SmartBootManager (sbminst) is used instead of Win98's MBR
     1376- Mondo may now resize Windows-only backups when restoring
     1377- silly bugs in prep-me... fixed
     1378
     1379v0.964 (2000-06-02)
     1380- VFAT partitions >8GB handled OK now
     1381- 2nd floppy (optionally) created for SCSI users <--- not working yet
     1382- better calc-disk-size algorithm (thanks, Doug Nordwall)
     1383- Mondo can now backup and restore Windows-only PCs! :-)
     1384- silly prep-me and format-and-kludge-vfat bugs fixed
     1385- 'resize hack' retitled as 'vacuum-pack'
     1386
     1387v0.963 (2000-05-31)
     1388- ISO images are no longer padded
     1389- all currently-loaded modules are backed up to custom hboot.img & installed at restore-time before CD is accessed
     1390- '--burn-cd <speed>' switch added
     1391- '--no-opt' switch added; use it in the call to mondo-archive if you don't want IDE optimization when restoring
     1392- lots of work done on auto-archive
     1393- mondo-extras-1.5 created; excludes mondo-zfile but includes hlib.tar.bz2
     1394- boot floppy image now includes kernel w/lots of SCSI stuff
     1395- slice* deleted (WipeArchives); was 'slices*' (bug!)
     1396- restore scripts all use 'lastbit-me' to find the 'X' part of '/dev/X' device; this will make it easier to port Mondo to kernel 2.4.x
     1397- I cannot make SCSI-based CDROMs boot from Mondo CDs properly... but SCSI hard drives and ZIP drives should be handled ok from now on
     1398- with a little coaxing, Mondo will backup Windows-only PCs (as well as Lin/Win and Linux-only PCs)
     1399
     1400v0.962 (2000-05-25)
     1401- silly bug in mondo-checksum fixed
     1402- stale tmp dirs are now definitely deleted (bug fixed)
     1403- "Job is  percent d complete. hh:ss to go." --- much better 'progress' string
     1404- 'buffer' is gone again :) thank goodness
     1405- only 1st ISO is padded; the rest aren't.
     1406- working on implementing an easy 'cdrecord' shortcut-call-thingy
     1407- mondo-archive doesn't try to delete loopfs unless it exists
     1408- mondo-restore's "hack-softlinks" - silly bug ($1/ missing) fixed
     1409- boot floppy image now includes mkdir and rmdir
     1410- user may specify temp directory using '--tempdir <path>'
     1411- mondo-archive now includes a copy of 'buffer' for future use
     1412- Mondo will now archive and restore Linux AND LinWin systems ok. W00H00! :-)
     1413
     1414v0.961 (2000-05-23)
     1415- mondo-checksum ignores files <2k in length
     1416- default compression level is 4
     1417- default verify level is 2
     1418- files <3k in size aren't compressed
     1419- filelist no longer includes bashbug, dosfsck or dir
     1420- bs-me is disabled in mondo-restore
     1421- fixed bug in 'hack-fstab' which stopped processing fstab if blank line found
     1422
     1423v0.960 (2000-05-22)
     1424- mondo-vfat-1.0 package released, to provide kludging for VFAT bootables
     1425- logfile now saved at /var/log/mondo-archive.log (not `pwd`/mondo-archive.log)
     1426- pid registered/checked _after_ command line processed... so you can do --help without being shouted at ;)
     1427- restore-me broken into 2 scripts: untar-me and biggify-me
     1428- restore-subroutine-me now renamed untar-subroutine-me
     1429- bzip2 decompression should work again ;) ... a missing '-Z' was added to the afio call, and the usr/lib/libbz* libraries are now included on CD ISOs
     1430- fixed hack-lilo to ignore blank lines
     1431- really ugly boot kludge has been implemented, using embleer files to make newly-formatted VFAT partitions bootable
