Yup.  Maybe it was stripped automagically ---
that'd actually be a Good Thing(TM), IMO.

Another strategy: choose "minimal" from sysinstall(8)
and get it over with quickly, then:

1.  Reboot, run /stand/sysinstall again, and use it to
install the cvsup-no-gui package.

2.  Cvsup your source tree.

3.  Run a "make buildworld" cycle.

I haven't timed this out, but it *seems*
faster ... maybe 'cause I'm running steps
instead of just watching sysinstall download
the whole OS ....
