No ability to add anything during the install, you end up with a very
minimal system and you just have to know how to download and install more. 
I prefer that to be done at install time, less confusion and looking up
things on the web.

Not at all in this case, it's a network (TCP) bridge to route traffic
between LAN's and subnets.

A $20 router can't do more than 2 subnets and it sure as heck can't do
token ring LAN's.

It's kind of the same thing, but between more than 2 connections.  the
routing gets kind of hairy if you don't know what you're doing.
