>Organization:
>Environment:
	Install floppy from current.freebsd.org, as of 31-aug-98.

>Description:
	I installed a new system with the aforementioned boot floppy,
	installing only the ``bin'' distribution.  After rebooting,
	I re-ran /stand/sysinstall, and attempted to install various
	components of the XFree86 distribution by selecting the parts
	I wanted from the XFree submenu.  However, every time I selected
	<Exit> (or <Cancel>), sysinstall just kept going back up to the
	main menu, and refused to actually install anything.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Run /stand/sysinstall from aforementioned -snap, and attempt to
	install XFree86.

>Fix:
	Sorry; sysinstall should have a warning:
		"You are in a twisty little maze of menus, all alike".

	Most probably, the DIST_XF86 flag is not being set in the
	Dists variable when subcomponents of XFree are selected 
	individually, leading sysinstall to think that nothing is
	needed to install.  (but hey, this is just a guess)
