Description John Ross 2001-11-20 20:20:00 UTC 
When using the install.cfg file with sysinstall, a menu pops up asking what XFree86 distributions you would like to install, even though those distributions are selected in install.cfg

Fix: 

My C could be off, but I'm thinking in dist.c, line 285, in distSetX(void) There are 2 return calls:

return distSetXF86(NULL);
return DITEM_SUCCESS;

distSetXF86 seems to just launch the the menu, I'm guessing that should be removed.
How-To-Repeat: use sysinstall with install.cfg, and select the distribution "distSetXDeveloper" (It also fails when "dists=xbin Xlib" or any thing with X

Can you please post your complete install.cfg file?

What happens if you specify the distributions but then choose
"distSetCustom" instead of "distSetXDeveloper" ?

Sure thing, it's included below. (Some stuff removed to protect the
guilty)

As long as you choose any distribution that needs X, it doesn't work. The
install.cfg I've included does not install any X libs from the
distribution (so It works) but you can somply replace:
	dists=bin doc manpages info compat22 compat3x compat4x crypto krb5
With:
	dists=bin Xbin

And it won't work anymore. (You could also use distSetXDeveloper,
distSetXUser, distSetEverything, distSetXF86 and it will fail as well)

I've tried it with Xbin, Xlib, XF86-xc, even just Xdoc, and it fails.

I believe that this PR has been obsoleted by subsequent events.
