Comment (by pulkomandy):
Yes, this has not been updated after the PM merge, the list of packages
from the source install should be listed there with the option to
uninstall them. System packages (haiku.hpkg) should probably be excluded
or at least disabled (so you can't uncheck them).
The idea is that on the live CD everything is available, but you can
remove anything that you don't want when installing. This feature was
available in BeOS DevEd (not sure about plain BeOS PE), and allowed
bundling a lot of software on the install CD but still making it possible
to install only a subset of it.
The view should list the package name and short description, ideally the
size, and a checkbox (checked by default) to allow enabling/disabling the
items. It should offer grouping by categories, but this may require access
to the haikudepot web app (not possible in Installer as it can be launched
directly and in that case there is no internet access). Maybe the category
list can be bundled into the image for the included packages.
