Murray had some permissions problems on ftp-master, so he couldn't make/ update the CHECKSUM.MD5 file. The checksum from the original ISO image is: MD5 (disc1.iso) = 442571d757cc867dd7043e0a16f6d358 > The install went smoothly as expected. > > Normally, I don't install KDE or Gnome but I tried the KDE desktop. > When I reviewed the package selection menu, I noticed that it > had only installed some of the kde libs and the kde base.

We have both the x11/gnome and x11/kde3 metaports in the disc 1 package sets, but sysinstall/config.c installs gnomecore and kdebase, rather than the metaports. This feels wrong to me somehow. One of the commit log entries (from around 4.5-RELEASE) mentions that we install kdebase rather than the KDE metaport to save package space on disc 1, but our package splitting scripts already put the metaport there.
