With the current text, it not clear i'm downloading 5.5MB of what.  

Should add simple texting saying you'll get Navigator and select anything else 
in addition.

Marking beta 1, since this will be seen by and confuse both press and consumers 
right off the bat.

This is a side effect of workaround fix for bug 29336.

The real solution (for bug 29336) is to check if a user has browser installed.  
If they do, we will allow the user to de-select the browser component and 
proceed installation.  If they don't have the browser installed, we'll need to 
make the option a "locked" checkbox, so user's know that it's a required 
component.

Since we didn't have time to implement the right way, we did the workaround by 
not listing the browser component as an optional component to install in the 
custom panel.

Suggesting that this not be marked pdt+.  The worst case scenario is that the 
user gets a working install of Navigator.

Darn.  I had made a comment on this bug last night that obviously did not make
it through.  I had cleared the PDT- for reconsideration and suggested a simple
text change.

Here is the text that I think should replace the blurb at the top of the custom
dialog:

"Netscape Navigator is always installed.  Select the additional components you
want to install, clear the components you do not want to install."

FYI, the Mac text already indicates that Navigator is always installed per the 
"Custom Install" option's long description that is displayed to the user before 
s/he moves to the custom selection dialog.
