>Description:
When one select "All" on some of the "Distributions" menus of
sysinstall(8) no distribution is marked but actually all of them are
selected for installation. It can confuse one during a new system
installation. Following patch fixes this problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
If you want test this patch or repeat the problem before that on already installed system try following scenario before and after applying the patch to your source:

1. run 'sysinstall' as a root
2. go to "Custom | Distributions" or to "Custom | Distributions | Custom" menu
3. select "All" on the menu and see what distributions are marked after that

P.S. If this patch is correct it should be commited to 5.3 before the
release, IMHO.
