>Description:
When installing, I didn't select a package distribution. Doing this caused core components not to be installed and rendered an unbootable system. The user should be required to choose at least one option, or be provided with a warning that core components (i.e. -- passwd) will not be installed due to having no package distribution selected.
>How-To-Repeat:
Complete installation process and select no package distribution when prmopted. 
>Fix:
Impliment a warning message that no package distribution has been selected, or force the user to select at least one.
