You have a good point about the pkgsrc guide, however, I think the
NetBSD guide could be converted to text easily. Most of the images in
there are in the installation and disk partitioning sections. There's
not a whole lot to be gained by including images of the install in the
base system, since you would already be past the install at that
point.
