That's the case here too; of course, I'm in as root so I can install all
the software I'm ftp'ing over from the other machine... ;-)  For now, I'll
just live with the cosmetic problems, because it looks like I'll have to
build a new kernel and re-install in the near future anyway for other
reasons.  Maybe I can set the options flag then and see what happens.
