 You are now done with the first phase of the installation.  We will,
 for now, dump you rather unceremoniously into a shell where you can
 then ftp, SLIP, DOS floppy or carrier pigeon the bindist over.  This
 will NOT be so unfriendly in the BETA installation, and will lead
 instead to a menu offering you various helpful ways of getting the
 bindist.  This is all we had time for in the ALPHA, however.  Sorry!
 Thank you for your patience!";
