 >  So far this is a sysinst issue.
 
 one thing i wish sysinst did better was handle additional/missing
 files/sets in the install image.
 
 everything is pretty muc hard coded.  i've always envisioned that
 having some metadata file created by the build that sysinst reads
 to find out what sets are available and then presents the user
 with info based upon this (ie, if your iso image has no source
 or X11 sets, don't offer them.)  it also allows other parties to
 easily add sets for installs and have sysinst deal.
 
 but i have never really thought about implementing it :)
