Functionality for downloading and merging extending images for the inst-sys
List of Global Functions
OldDesintegrateExtension - Reverse function to DownloadAndIntegrateExtension(). The only difference is that it doesn't upload the image from where it has been downloaded. It just umounts the image and removes it.
OldDisintegrateAllExtensions - Tries to disintegrate (umount, remove) all already used extensions. Nevertheless extensions already in use cannot be disintegrated.
OldDownloadAndIntegrateExtension - Downloads extension archive (file system image) and integrates it to the current system. Extension name (param) is relative to the 'InstsysURL' defined in '/etc/install.inf', but no "../" are processed/merged. See the example.
