CSAIL Debian installer updates
I spent a couple hours this weekend reworking some components of the CSAIL Debian installer. The early user interface looks much nicer and is menu driven, which is going to make end-users much happier. Having to type (and remember to type!) something like "install64" to get a 64 bit installation was suboptimal. There's also an option to boot into grub, which is convenient for certain rescue situations. Grub also has default entries for useful tools like memtest86+.
I also rewrote the tools that TIG uses to create installation disks. The process is much less complex now, and in most cases will just amount to typing 'make'. That'll make life much easier for us when we need to update the installer disks. That's always nice.
