-Well here is a little description of how DrakX can be modified or extended.
-Please refer to README file for getting DrakX code source and to known more
-exactly how it works and what it can do.
-
-
-********************************************************************************
-* Execution of DrakX ***********************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-DrakX has originally be written by pixel in perl and C.
-entry point for stage2 is /usr/bin/runinstall2 which is typically a link to
-/usr/bin/install2 which simply load module install2.pm and execute
-install2::main with @ARGV.
-
-install2::main parse command line arguments, prepare installation, find the right
-install_interactive class (take a look at gi/docs/object_class.fig) according to
-command line, memory available and if the interactive chosen is initializing
-correctly, else it will try a less-demanding interactive object.
-Once done, $::o is set to this install & interactive object and main runs the
-various step of install2 defined in $o->{steps}, starting with $o->{steps}{first}
-and iterating with method install_any::getNextStep().
-while running step, it trap any errors that may arise and use perl exception to
-change step.

-********************************************************************************
-* DrakX modules descriptions ***************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-Here is a brief description of what each modules of DrakX is doing.
-
-install2: main module of DrakX as described above, main loop execution of DrakX.
-
-install_steps: generic installation module containing steps definition, all steps
-  should always be defined here as some methods may be used on automatic mode.
-  there is no interactivity available. typically are defined base operation for
-  configuring each step according to $o.
-
-install_steps_interactive: generic installation module with generic interative
-  methods. typically are found all interactive code of DrakX for each steps.
-
-install_steps_auto_install: implementation installation module without interactive
-  methods to match auto_install mode. this is the simplest as almost no method are
-  redefined (inherit module install_steps only, compared to other implementation
-  modules described below).
-
-install_steps_stdio: implementation installation module with interactive stdio
-  methods to match stdio mode. inherit modules install_steps_interactive and
-  interactive_stdio.
-
-install_steps_newt: implementation installation module with interactive newt
-  methods to match newt mode. inherit modules install_steps_interactive and
-  interactive_newt.
-
-install_steps_gtk: implementation installation module with interactive gtk
-  methods to match gtk mode. inherit modules install_steps_interactive and
-  interactive_gtk.
-
-install_any: contains various methods using generic interactive interface but
-  not used by standalone tools.
-
-install_gtk: contains various methods using gtk interface but not used by
-  standalone tools.
-
-interactive_stdio: implementation methods for interactivity in stdio mode.
-  inherit module interactive.

-
-any: contains various methods using generic interactive interface. to compare
-  against install_any module as this one is available for standalone tools.
-
-class_discard: simple module that implement every methods undefined to return
-  nothing. this trick is used to ensure no undefined method can arise when using
-  code that reference interactive method which are not defined.
-
-common: contains very simple and very usefull (common) methods to do various task.
-  some methods inspired by functionnal language.
-
-c: contains wrapper to C definition of methods used by DrakX, use of C is necessary
-  for C extern libraries interface (rpmlib, ldetect), kernel interface, XFree
-  interface.
-
-commands: implement some un*x commands, conflicting name with perl contains
-  trailing underscore (_). this module is used by commands perl script that
-  determine which command to run according to $0 (this is used this way when DrakX
-  is running).
-
-run_program: allow running a program with redirection but without using a shell.
-  allow rooted execution.

-  /etc/rc.d/init.d directories).
-
-detect_devices: manage detection of various class of hardware.
-
-devices: manage device file, create device special according device name.
-
-partition_table: base partition table management methods, it manages
-  appriopriate partition_table_XXX object according to what has been read
-  as XXX partition table type.
-
-partition_table_raw: generic class for the following partition_table_XXX.
-
-partition_table_emtpy: matches an empty partition table.
-

-
-partition_table_mac: matches an Apple partition table.
-
-partition_table_sun: matches a Sun Label partition table.
-
-fs: read and write /etc/fstab file, mount and umount, format.
-
-fsedit: manage (modyfy, edit) mount point associated to partition (like editing
-  /etc/fstab).

-********************************************************************************
-* DrakX FAT resizer module description *****************************************
-********************************************************************************
-here is a fat resizer written in perl and C used by DrakX (diskdrake) to resize
-FAT16/FAT32 partition. it moves clusters to make sure a shrink can be done on the
-limit of the partition itself, if no cluster need to be moved, only boot sector
-partition limit are modified.
-
-any: various methods to flag cluster, compute min size.
-
-boot_sector: boot sector management methods.
-
-c_rewritten: originally resize_fat was only perl, this contains code section that
-  are the most sensible to speed or memory contraints and have been rewritten to C
-  using perl extension.
-
-dir_entry: manage directory structure.
-
-directory: traverse directory recursively, needed to move correctly cluster.
-
-fat: manage fat structure.
-
-info_sector: manage info sector.
-
-io: manage I/O on disk (need to take care of big file as partition size may be
-  larger than 2GB).
-
-main: main resizer algortihm. if needed allocate new clusters, copy files, copy
-  directories. update boot sector info.

-********************************************************************************
-* Adding a new step to DrakX ***************************************************
-********************************************************************************
-Say we want to add a question for setting "alawindows" option.
-We put it pretty early in the install, let's say after "Select Installation
-Class".
-
-1. in install2.pm
-
-add
-
-  selectAlawindows => [ __("A la windows or not"), 0, 1, '' ],
-
-after
-
-  selectInstallClass => [ __("Select installation class"), 1, 1, '' ],
-
-the 0, 1, '' means not "redoable", "skip on error", "don't hide"
-
-2. add your function selectAlawindows in install2.pm
-
-sub selectAlawindows  { $o->selectAlawindows }
-
-3. add your function selectAlawindows in install_steps_interactive.pm
-
-sub selectAlawindows {
-    my ($o) = @_;
-    $o->{alawindows} = $o->ask_yesorno('', _("Throw everything away as windobe does?"), 1);
-}
-
-4. add your function selectAlawindows in install_steps.pm (not needed in that
-case, except for auto_install)
-
-sub selectAlawindows  {}
-
