+The following options may be set from this screen:
+
+NFS Secure: NFS server talks only on a secure port
+
+ This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which
+ will not talk NFS over "non priviledged" ports.
+
+
+NFS Slow: User is using a slow PC or ethernet card
+
+ Use this option if you have a slow PC (386) or an ethernet card
+ with poor performance being "fed" by NFS on a higher-performance
+ workstation. This will throttle the workstation back to prevent
+ the PC from becoming swamped with data.
+
+
+FTP Abort: On transfer failure, abort
+
+ This is pretty self-explanatory. If you're transfering from a
+ host that drops the connection or cannot provide a file, abort
+ the installation of that piece.
+
+
+FTP Reselect: On transfer failure, ask for another host
+
+ This is more useful to someone doing an interactive installation.
+ If the current host stops working, ask for a new ftp server to
+ resume the installation from. The install will attempt to pick
+ up from where it left off on the other server, if at all possible.
+
+
+FTP Active: Use "active mode" for standard FTP
+
+ For all FTP transfers, use "Active" mode. This will not work
+ through firewalls, but will often work with older ftp servers
+ that do not support passive mode. If your connection hangs
+ with passive mode (the default), try active!
+
+
+FTP Passive: Use "passive mode" for firewalled FTP
+
+ For all FTP transfers, use "Passive" mode. This allows the user
+ to pass through firewalls that do not allow incoming connections
+ on random port addresses.
+
+NOTE: Active and passive modes are not the same as a `proxy'
+connections where a proxy ftp server is listening on a different port.
+In these situations, you should specify the URL as something like:
+
+ ftp://foo.bar.com:1234/pub/FreeBSD
+
+Where "1234" is the port number of the proxy ftp server.
+
+
+Debugging: Turn on the extra debugging flag
+
+ This turns on a lot of extra noise over on the second screen
+ (ALT-F2 to see it, ALT-F1 to switch back). If your installation
+ should fail for any reason, PLEASE turn this flag on when
+ attempting to reproduce the problem. It will provide a lot of
+ extra debugging at the failure point and may be very helpful to
+ the developers in tracking such problems down!
+
+
+Yes To All: Assume "Yes" answers to all non-critical dialogs
+
+ This flag should be used with caution. It will essentially
+ decide NOT to ask the user about any "boundry" conditions that
+ might not constitute actual errors but may be warnings indicative
+ of other problems.
+
+
+
+A number of these items, like "FTP Active" and "FTP Passive", are
+actually mutually-exclusive even though you can turn them on all at
+once or deselect them all; this is a limitation in the menuing system.
+
+If you re-enter the Options menu, you'll see the settings it's
+actually using after the system checked for any possible conflicts.
