      The test button does not always appear during install. If the button is
      there, you can control your settings by pressing it. If you see a
      question asking you whether your settings are correct, you can answer
      "yes", and the settings will be kept. If you don't see anything, you'll
      return to the configuration screen and be able to reconfigure everything
      until the test is good. <emphasis>Make sure your settings are on the
      safe side if the test button isn't available</emphasis></para>
