    Sorry for the alarm... looks like something messed up between the
mirror and my machines.  I went back to get another copy of the
bin and proflib tarballs, and now they unpack fine.  No idea why they
didn't work the first time (used ncftp, should have automatically been
in binary mode, wasn't missing any segments).

    Once that was fixed, the install went smooth as silk.  Selected a
bunch of packages, hit "Commit" then went away to read mail on another
terminal.  When I came back, there was an error dialog saying it
couldn't unpack the compat20 tarball.  Debugging screen said /usr was
full.  Switched over to the holographic shell and found out it was
because I had accidentally selected the dict tarball.  Removed
/usr/share/dict.  Switched back to ttyv0.  Hit Return to tell the
installer to try compat20 again.  It did so.  Finished off the rest of
the install without a hitch.  Beautiful.  :)
