# ls /home

Any idea which 5 in this case...?  Just wondering why the first (locale)
sorted would not show...

OK...  but in a world of "when all else fails, RTFM" (meaning docs are a
last resort :^) should the install even ask the CD2 & CD3 question..?
Maybe there should be other option(s):
  * CD2
  * CD3
  * this is not a CD install

BTW, "INSTALL.txt" makes no mention in "4. Other installation methods"
that any of these methods don't support full installation...

Thanks,
Pierre
