Well, yes, I guess that is a fair assumption. I have read them, just not very recently. Said document also says you can probably get away with installing just xbase45.tgz if you don't intend on running X. My humble point is that you're asked if you intend to run X (now /before/ the selection of sets), you answer no, and then the installer wants to install X fonts and what not. I think that's a bit non-obvious (unless they're actually needed).
