First Install of RHEL3/B1

["Post, Mark K" <mark post eds com>]

Things went fairly smoothly, but I do have one complaint.

During the install process, I decided to select "install everything."
Anaconda started installing packages, and eventually asked for disc # 2,
which I inserted.  It continued installing and then asked for disc # 3.  So
far, so good.  After a short while, it asked for disc # 1 to be inserted.
Then #3.  Then #1.  Then #3.  Then #1.  Ad nauseum.  Each disk swap got a
few more packages installed, but it took _forever_ (it seemed).  Apparently,
after a certain point, Ananconda just started installing the remaining RPMs
in alphabetical order, with no regard for what CD they were on.  That's
_really_ got to get fixed before GA.  It's too time consuming and labor
intensive for more than one or two installations.
