    I said I do the INSTALL without them. I just the source tree and ports
    quite being a committer to both of them. I just find the copies on
    the release media a waste of time to install since I'll just be nuking
    them and installing new copies from cvs. I was attempting to point
    out that the currently missing features while important to the overall
    experience, aren't critical to being able to get a system up and running
    configured how ever you like so long as you have a decent network
    connection (which you presumably do if you're going to be downloading a
    300MB iso to test out an installer. :)
