Yes, pretty much, sort of.

No, not so much, sort of.

But what are you really asking? What is it, in your view, that 
either stands or falls depending upon one's definition of the 
term "full install?"

Strictly speaking, a fully functional NetBSD system need not 
have either set of sources, but in making that observation all 
I've done is shift the focus from the meaning of the phrase 
"full install" to "fully functional."

With more input from you we can escape these semantic quagmires!

Thank you.
