Additional info:

Comment 1 E Wilson 2003-11-21 14:21:45 UTC
The comps.xml from the "extras" CD over-writes the comps.xml file from
disc 1.

Doco may need to be updated.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2003-11-21 21:23:47 UTC
The documentation only says to copy the installation CDs and never
refers to the extras CD at all.

I'll try to get the README clarified somewhat, though.
