Bug 114182

	There is a subsection of ``Advanced Installation'' on installing
over a network.  This subsection describes methods for SLIP, PPP,
and Ethernet networking.  We sound rather archaic if we lead off the
list with the (in the words of Murray Stokely) super cutting-edge
SLIP protocol.

Fix:
