>Description:
	"press any key to continue" should be a *MUCH* less frequent event.
	I had to "press any key" perhaps fifteen or twenty times during the
	install when nothing was happening, e.g., between each of the
	distribution sets being downloaded, etc.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Run the install.
>Fix:
	Run sequences of commands (e.g., all of the ftp's) before clearing the
	window and asking the user to press a key?
