Installation problem.

[Igor Pechtchanski]

*** Apologies if this is a repost, I didn't see my original message make
it through **

Deepa,

a) it had better be the same, or setup won't find the downloaded packages
b) this is one reason doing "Install from Internet" is better than doing a
   download and then "Install from Local Directory" -- you would not need
   to select the packages twice in the former case

FWIW, at this point it makes no difference - doing either "Install from
Internet" or "Install from Local Directory" should work, and the "Install
from Internet" won't result in any more downloads (unless a newer version
of some package suddenly becomes available).  Next time you upgrade, you
should use "Install from Internet" right away.
