I generally use the 'custom' path, but I've installed FreeBSD 20 times so I know what I'm after. :) With custom you can pick exactly which pieces you want, including the source. Or you can do it manually afterwards by fetching the src/ssys.* files off the CD or FTP site and running 'tar xzf ssys.*' from /usr/src.
