--- Comment #1 from Alan Somers <asomers@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is a good start, but I think there are at least two problems, and maybe
four:

* Testing BSDINSTALL_PKG_REPOS_DIR should use "-n": if [ -n "$..." ]

* "bsdinstall pkgbase" and "bsdinstall distextract" should be mutually
exclusive.  If the script does the former, then it must skip "bsdinstall
checksum" and "bsdinstall pkgbase"

* changing the default value of DISTRIBUTIONS may break existing scripts.  Best
to leave it the same.

* "bsdinstall pkgbase" already does something sensible if
BSDINSTALL_PKG_REPOS_DIR is unset.  So I don't think that you should require
the user to set it.  Rather, to select a pkgbase install, I think you should
either require the user to set DISTRIBUTIONS="", or else introduce a new
variable.
