If you're proposing a menu at install-time so the user must select one
of the three options, I don't think that's a very user friendly way to
do it. I would rather have the info/welcome screen I proposed (see
above) show up immediately. After that welcome, the install process
continues: Do you want to install Base or everything? Do you want to
install source code?

That makes it simple. And friendly.
