From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: I had installed Fedora core - 3 with just gnome. I wanted to try out a few more packages and used the software installer. I selected a lot of packages and proceeded with the install. The installer would install a set of packages and ask for changing the CD. It would ask for the same CD multiple times. For eg., after installing one set of packages in CD-2, it would move onto CD-3, then to CD-2, then to CD-3, and back to CD-2 so on. As I see it, the installer builds a list a list of packages and requests a change in CD when it does not find it in the current list. This is irritating especially when upgrading. Users would find it a lot more easy if the packages after selection were to be hashed on the CD number and then installed on a per CD basis. That way we don't have to change more than 4 times. This is a feature which has been missing in RedHat for a long time now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Linux with minimum set of packages 2.Upgrade with a lot of packages. 3.Keep changing CDs. Actual Results: I had to change the CDs a lot of times(around 15). Expected Results: I should have changed it just 4 times. Additional info:
The next generation tool is goign to do transaction ordering itself instead of depending on RPM just for this reason
