The install installs only binaries.  Sources you can install yourself
after installation.

Yggdrasil removed several pieces of the distribution, but did not fix
the distribution to be installable as modified.  We aren't completely
pleased that they called the bastardized version "Red Hat Linux".  It's

be called something else if it is something else...
