--when using the '-c' option at boot.  the new values for port, irq, drq, 
	iomem are recorded in the boot messages.  use this information to
	these values listed when setting up the network.   so instead of
	seeing 'ep0 at 0x300' when i '-c'ed the 3c5x9 to 0x340, i would see
	'ep0 at 0x340'.   a little nit, but i sparked some discussion here
	when installing 2.0

--when prompted for additional flags for the ifconfig command, provide 
	info: what's available and what's it do to each card.  (lets see
	was it altphys?  link2? -link2?, damn it i dont remember!)

--continue the install sytle boot till a "done" option is selected from 
	one of the menus.  the ncftp fetch of X locked up on me and 
	i had to do the rest by hand--and the way i type that's a very
	real disadvantage ;)

--ncftp has worked fine here during installs, so lets keep it, can the
	error message that it produces on the alt-f2 screen.  dont really
	remember it--some file or file descriptor message that does not 
	indicate a show stopper, but does cause unfounded concern.
