No, the java and csharp grades were not the only grades installed; they
are however the only ones built and installed using mmc --make (via
mmake --use-mmc-make).

Attached.

It is:

   asm_fast.gc
   asm_fast.gc.prof.tr
   asm_fast.gc.tr.debug.stseg
   asm_fast.gc.tr.decldebug.stseg
   csharp
   hlc.gc
   hlc.gc.memprof.tr
   hlc.gc.tr
   java

(The compiler was built in asm_fast.gc.)
