Same here, only I figure it's too short as I had to install KDE from the
net via yum. The install dialog could be tightened up a tad to allow
installing "extra" apps from the CD. I wanted to install "everything"
yet the install only used 3 CD's of a set of 5 and I'm sure I missed
something somewhere to not be accessing the other 2 CD's during install.
Whatever, it wasn't readily apparent from the install dialog and it's
not like this is my first rodeo. Yippie ky yay, Ric
