>(1) What documentation ?

There's a menu choice labeled "Doc" - perhaps you've seen it! :-)

It's also available at the top level of the ftp directory where 2.0.5-ALPHA
lives.

>(2) What is the function of root.flp ?

It's a small gzip'd tarball of all the essential system sources.
If you're installing from anything but tape or floppy, you don't even
need to grab it - the install will do so automatically.
