>I get the message, "Unable to fetch package 'x' from selected media.  No

I too experienced this, in fact, at least a dozen packages aren't even on
the CD
(2.1.5-RELEASE) that I got from WC-CDROM, but are listed in the install
app. 
For $40 I am not going to lose any sleep over it, although future releases
(from
WC) should be checked for this problem.
