sysinstall feedback

0. installed using file system, nfs, and ftp. all were successfully
completed. installation hardware was Tecra750CDT, AMD K-2 and a 
PENTIUM desktop.  I installed X-USER distro, KDE and GNOME.
a. in many menus the SPACE and the RETURN key have the same function.
b. XFREE86 configuration menu: all the accelerators are "X".
c. menus that have "All" and "Reset": the brackets in front of "All" 
should be deleted.
d. "All" and "Reset" entries from XFree86 Distribution menu should
be removed. The All and Reset functionality is avaiable in the 
"Basic", "Server", "Fonts" submenus.
e. if installing via nfs or ftp and an error is made in the NFS file or 
FTP site, the interface is shutdown and the routing tables are flushed.
This forces the installer to reboot using the floppies before installation  
can continue. otherwise sysinstall complains about "unable to resolv
hostname...".
e. installed netscape 4.7, however execution results in 
libXt.so.6.0 missing. there is a link to libXt.so.6 in /usr/X11R6/lib.
1. the letter "O" key works as a back to the previous position key.
therefore the "OPTION" entry is disabled where "O" is the accelerator.
2. the escape key is not documented.
3. the accelerator key gets initialized to numeric value "1" for 
every menu. e.g., if the first entry in the menu is "X", as in 
"Choose Distributions", the accelerator function thinks that is 
the first entry and the accelerator keys "1", "2", etc., do not 
work properly. in this case all the keys are offset by "3" because 
there are 3 accelerator entries before the "1".
4. the accelerator keys work within the displayed screen. if
the screen is scrolled down/up to view more options then cannot use
the accelerator key to select the entries that have scrolled off 
of the screen. example, "Choose Distributions" menu scroll down, 
now cannot accelerate using "X".
5. If using the "UPGRADE" option make sure that the root partition
has approximately 12Mbytes of unused space. otherwise the root 
partition runs out of space.
6. Using the UPGRADE option the main sysinstall menu screen is 
not taken down, i.e. subsequent screens are superimposed on the
main menu screen.
7. there are errors in the /etc/pccard.conf file.
