All the options on this menu should be blank so user has to purposesly click on those options to enable them with an asterisk. There had been talk about removing games from the base install all together a few years ago. Has this been carried forward in error? The sysinstall procedure asks the user two different time if they want to install the ports collection. BDSinstall should at least make it mandidtory to purposesly click on the ports option to install them. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
