That is good to know. So I do not miss anything, and my install has all the things for a fully running system. I was wondering if maybe I missed something when I installed the system, and was contemplating on re-installing the system again. So from what I understand, the sources are not included, unless I go into "custom install" and choose the source sets from there. Thank you all very much for the information and help.
