+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.
