You can add additional dists by using the following: su cat $PATH_TO_DIST/manpages.* | tar xfzp - For example, if you're installing off the cdrom: su cat /cdrom/dists/manpages/manpages.* | tar xfzp - If I'm not mistaken, the later snapshots have a more robust sysinstall that allows you to do this sort of thing.
