You'll enjoy it, trust me! :)

OK, here's what the relevant chunk of menus.c looks like now:
{ "FTP Active", "Install from an FTP server in active mode",
DMENU_CALL, mediaSetFTPActive, 0, 0 },
{ "FTP Passive", "Install through a firewall in passive FTP mode",
DMENU_CALL, mediaSetFTPPassive, 0, 0 },
Will that do? I'll also ammend the media menu, as you suggested.
Please also note that documentation enhancement requests that are
accompanied by *the actual text* will always get priority treatment
from me! :-)
