Do we really need to capture cases in which anaconda asks for disc #2 
(suppose you started with a CD) and you insert the wrong disc #2 (for 
example, a DVD)? So far, all the media has gone well, very well in fact; 
The Everything Spins (19 CDs, 3 DVD, or 1 DVD-BR + 1 DVD-sized ISO), 
never had a problem but for the case you are capturing with the patch.
