Got no CD drive in that box. But I'll put one in. Downloading the
ISO as we speak. Albeit from the dutch mirror. Anyway, the reason
I put my comments here instead of as PR was that I wasn't certain
they would amount to much.

Just things that struck me as odd. Talking about odd, what I also
consider to be odd is that the option All doesn't give All. Mind
you I just checked with Greg's Book and the figure (5.4 Distribution
selection menu @ p.79, 3rd edition) does not show the All option.

So, it looks like it's a new option. If so, then maybe someone
who knows what (s)he's doing ought to look at it. Hm, this
one I'm sure enough to grant PR status ;).

Well, one step further. Using the 4.1.1.-RELEASE or something I
did/noticed the following:

8 <> 7 (on 4.2) conflicts after kern/mksroot
Standard inst...
Choose Dists. : ALL!
FTP Passive, Holland
 ...
Dists: All -> Never mind

Meaning it looped. Probably meaning that the selection of distributions
All isn't what it used and promises to be. So I gave that up and ordered
a Custom distribution. After which I did have lots of games, BTW. But
no /usr/src. Guess I must've made a wrong click somewhere.

So this sheds a new light on the situation. Could it be that the
All distributions is misleading?

Ah, before I forget. This time round I selected bash 2 from the ports
collection resulting at least in a fleshed out /usr/ports dir.

Hm. Where to wreck havock now? Guess I'll try the 4.2RC1 again with
a specific distribution to install. Who knows...

PS details? Well... all is *not* all anymore
