It's undocumented (and breaks non-interactive installs) so I ended up going through the source to find the answer for myself a while ago. The option you want is: distDoc=#### Where the #### is a bitfield for which versions of the doc packages you want installed. Also the bitfield must be in _decimal_, not 0x## format, or it won't correctly select what you want. You need to view version 1.75 or higher of dist.h (from sysinstall's source) to get the full listing. URL: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/dist.h?rev=1.75.2.1.2.1;content-type=text%2Fplain 0 (zero) disables installation. 16 is english. *** WARNING/RANT: If you use any of the "distSetxxxxxx" (eg: distSetKernDeveloper) options to select what to install, it doesn't matter what you've selected above - you _will_ be prompted with a menu to select a doc package upon running sysinstall. (Those options reset distDoc option above). Non-interactive sysinstall is effectively broken in FreeBSD 8.0 distribution disks. (There is a way around it, but it's a pain in the butt) That being said: sysinstall has been patched in source last month (Feb 2010), so should be good for 8.1, with the default of no docs installed if "nonInteractive=yes" is set in your sysinstall.cfg file.
