Having a list of > packages is possible, too, but you currently have no possibility of > downloading listings via ftp (so either modify ftp(1) or include libfetch > and dependency libs). what about this: You have the option from the menu to install pkgtools/pkgin, and after doing so, you have the option to install additional packages via pkgin. I've written a small shell script to accomplish that (being rather proof-of-concept than a sane solution), which uses misc/dialog (or even x11/zenity if you installed it) as an interface to pkgin. You can fetch it from http://komkon2.de/patches/pkginteractive. I wonder if you really want sysinst already installing packages, and what would be the preferred solution, and when it should be finished. Imho, there are always packages you want for the initial system setup, and doing this from inside the installer would be nice, but not strictly necessary. Regards, Julian
