Yeah, that should work, but it's not obvious that you should go do that and it will work. It just looks like something in the install failed that probably shouldn't have. The first thing you might imagine is that the burned CD is bad, or something like that. I agree that maybe the source sets shouldn't be there, to facilitate a quick download, but if that's the case then I just think the experience in sysinst should be polished a bit.
