System: NetBSD zorkmid.mit.edu 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (ZORKMID) #63: Wed Mar 8 04:52:39 EST 2000 jhawk@zorkmid.mit.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZORKMID i386


>Description:
	sysinst does not prompt the user to install either the source
distribution sets or the pkgsrc.tgz file.

	These are both terribly useful components of the operating system
and should be optionally installed at install time, not
at "postinstall" time.

	Of course, any decent open source operating system should make it
easy to get the source on your machine. By default might be
pushing it ;-)
