At 4:00 (3.5 hours later) I was asked for disc 3 and the estimated time remaining was down to a "reasonable" 3,235 minutes. At 4:15 I got an error saying it could not read xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi-7.0-3.noarch.rpm and I get one option - [Reboot]. No choice to skip that package or to replace the CD and try again. Just reboot. Sweet. -- Henry
