This is new. I'll look into it
        
This are the default groups since 2006.08. You could/should only
install packages from base (and base-devel) and a few other packages
during first time installation. Pre-2008.06 has groups like default
or "other libs", but these aren't needed.
      
I'm just wondering where the "None" packages come from.
    

The current installer download only core.db.tat.gz. So each package we
offer in the installer that don't belongs to a package in core will get
a "None" as repo source.
We should investigate this (ex. how aif handle this).
aif handles this probably the same as /arch/setup.  package installation stuff is an aspect that has remained pretty much untouched.  But it's on my/the todo list :-)

 But i think it's
OK, cause we advise the user at this point: install only the base/core
system (and your absolutely needed additional packages: wlan stuff etc).

But never heard that this "None" status irritates any user...

BTW: Aaron, have you modified the archiso/package.lst for this Alpha
ISOs (20-Jan-2009 17:53)? I miss dmraid, which we want include.
