the OS and applications using "pkgsrc" off other CDs (or another part
of a DVD) or off the network, etc. There could be choice in the
installer if some like GPL and others don't, graphics or text, etc.
And if this could be done with "pkgsrc", I suppose it could support
multiple package systems.

You mention "pkgsrc" -- I use pkgsrc to build entire Linux distributions
for a couple years. If someone pkgsrc-izes another libc and another
kernel, then it would allow people to pick and choose. (As for now, I use
glibc and Linux kernel built and install via pkgsrc for Linux systems.)
