here is my confusion. if comps can be installed from a disk 1 only install, then it doesn't rely on anything from disks 2-4. so how can it (and nothing else) get pushed to near the bottom of the list of packages? it gets installed between cdrecord and db4-java. and for some reason it also is listed as being installed a second time at the very end of install.log. it would make more sense to be done off disk 1 when the other disk 1 packages are installed, or at the very end, but in the middle of disk 4? i can live with the disk swap and/or use network install. i just am pointing it out as a very odd thing that seemed like an oversight to me. i'd be happier if i could grasp the underlying logic that causes the behaviour.
