I'm running 2.1.5 FreeBSD and I am having trouble using
/stand/sysinstall.

Suppose I want to install a "base" system, and then
later install just the kernel source & then still later
I want to install only XFree.  I can not seem to be able to
get sysinstall to understand what I want to do.  It seems
insistent that I *re*install BASE+DICT+INFO+MAN when adding a new
package.

My media is either FTP or DOS partition depending.

Could someone please give me a clue?

Thanks for your help!
Roger
