>Description:
I have three small problems with the ISO images (from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/iso/).
1. On the ISO, there is no source code at all. i belive there should be
at least the kernel source, or the package to retrieve it (cvs).
2. the default without X install of netbsd installs it anyway. why? i
should not have to go in to the packages tree to explicitly tell the
installer that i don't want it, when i've already indicated that
in the beginning.
3. the partition editor is a bit confusing. it would be nice to start
blank, or be able to delete all the partitions, and supply your own
in direct MB.
>How-To-Repeat:
Go through the installer, trying to be a newbie to it. think like someone
that's not used NetBSD before.
>Fix:
make the installer less counter intuitive?
