Also, I have been hacking the installer for SCSI Tape install, so that it eats any blocksize up to 64k. So it should work fine even on ExaBYTE, etc., and should be much faster. But I have noticed that in some package configurations rpm library sorts packages differently than they are on tape. I'll be looking into it once I cure myself a little bit (I'm feeling sick right now). So, at the moment for tape installs I can guarantee just full installations, although many other configurations should work as well. Other install method do not suffer from this. The CD has not been updated yet, I'll do it in the evening... Enjoy.
