+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'
+    CONNECTION, WHERE A PROXY FTP SERVER IS LISTENING ON A DIFFERENT
+    PORT!
+
+    In such 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.
+
+
+FTP userpass: Specify username and password instead of anonymous.
+
+    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.
+
+
+Clear:        Clear All Option Flags
+
+    Reset all option flags back to their default values.
+
+----
+
+Some of these items, like "FTP Active" or "FTP Passive", are actually
+mutually-exclusive even though you can turn all of them on or off at
+once.  This is a limitation of the menuing system, and is compensated
+for by checks that ensure that the various flags are not in conflict.
+If you re-enter the Options menu again after leaving it, you'll see
+the settings it's actually using after checking for any possible
+conflicts.
