Hi,
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:

If you want test this patch on installed system try following scenario
before and after applying it 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.
