This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which
will not talk NFS over "non priviledged" ports.

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.

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
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!

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:

CONNECTION, WHERE A PROXY FTP SERVER IS LISTENING ON A DIFFERENT
PORT!
In such situations, you should specify the URL as something like:

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!

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.

FTP userpass: Specify username and password instead of anonymous.
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.
By default, the installation attempts to log in as the
anonymous user. If you wish to log in as someone else,
specify the username and password with this option.
