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!
