Not so.  I may have missed the Alt-F2 hint, but I readily picked-up on
the <space> requirement.

BTW...the ftp finally did complete after a number of stalls on crc
errors.   But, I'm wondering if I should take another run at it and
try going [A]ll BSD again for partitioning.  My gut tells me a dedicated
machine should most likely be less troublesome if the OS has the
whole box.  The docs and Help screens seem to suggest this may
not be the case with FreeBSD -- i.e., that it may not care.
Recommendation????
