setup2hd: major changes
- use $DIALOG instead of calling dialog; hopefully we can use Xdialog at some time - warn user if terminal is too small to display fdisk/gdisk interfaces - improve installation time of squashfs modules to harddisk with a factor 6, by using a different way to show progress - tweak dialogs so that they show less empty space - if possible, set sane default selections in menu's to make the installation process smoother - fix many small bugs in user account creation, password dialog, user config extraction, removal of redundant configuration questions etc
