Well, doing CDs, DVDs, and a Blu-ray would be a bit much, and somewhat

Either we need to fix anaconda to know about specific sized media sets
(can't use format, because you can always upscale, IE burn CD isos to
DVD, or DVD isos to BD), or we stick to one iso that fits on a given
media, and splits of something smaller than that.  Be it 9 CDs and one
Blu-Ray (again ALL on the BR, and 1; 2; 3; 4 on each successive CD), or
2 DVDs and one Blu-Ray, or...

In the mean time, I just want to move forward with the paradigm that
'ALL' really means 1, that is expect Packages/ and repodata/ to be
there, and use the repodata to determine whether or not you need more
discs for the install.  The repodata is really what's going to trigger
anaconda into thinking that it needs more/different media.


Do we really need to capture cases in which anaconda asks for disc #2 (suppose you started with a CD) and you insert the wrong disc #2 (for example, a DVD)? So far, all the media has gone well, very well in fact; The Everything Spins (19 CDs, 3 DVD, or 1 DVD-BR + 1 DVD-sized ISO), never had a problem but for the case you are capturing with the patch.

Kind regards,
