Aw, do I really have to answer ALL these questions?  Sheesh, worse than one
of my users.  Actually I recommend just getting it and installing it.  I am
a lowly System Admin and I figured it out... surely you can!   I seem to recall
that you need a total of about 5 megs for the source, two left over for the
binary (of course, after you finished building you can get rid of the source
or just put it back into a compress cpio file the way you got it.) and
that's about it.  Hmmm, flexible?  Well, since 'flexible' isn't a word you
can use regarding the UA I would have to say yes.  There is a learning curve
though... I would plan to spend about 1 hour with the included man pages
and about 6-8 hours with hands on.  WARNING: IF YOU ARE RUNNING WILL-GO-WRONG
TCP YOU HAD BETTER INSTALL THE PATCH... IT WILL FAIL OTHERWISE.

Have fun (though I recommend getting the daughter board) the stuff is
wonderful.
