This was a completely fresh install. I put the CDs on a local http 
server and did a boot from CD 1, pointing to the URL for my server so I 
did not have to deal with any of the other CDs (and joys of CD read 
failures). This install built new partitions which were formatted. After 
the install, I did a yum update to get everything current.

I noticed that also. I wonder if 1.0.17 is the base install, 1.0.18rc3 
is the current update (or from rpmfusion?), and something did not work 
right with the update?
