One big annoyance with sysinstall is that there is no way to get the
full description of the package you want installed. This can be overcome
by going into the appropriate ports directory and reading the
description there, then firing up sysinstall and installing it (or
typing make install while you're there).

I've had this happen before with 4.0, and IIRC, it has to do with
Netscape. After the installation is over, go back in and install
Netscape and it works fine.
