I've got one (for now) suggestion about sysinst. I used it for the first time
recently, and got hung up at the point where it asks what media type the
ethernet connection is. The default is 10base2/BNC. I'm using 10baseT.  I
couldn't guess what to tell it. 10baseT doesn't work, it appends /BNC to it and
fails. 10baseT <spaced> <space> <space> <space> wont work either, but it does
get rid of the /BNC.

The right answer, I'm told, is 10baseT/UTP, but I would not have gotten there
on my own.

10base2 : BNC  /=  10baseT : UTP   The correct answer would be more like
10baseT/RJ45

A little help at that point would have been nice.
