Disk defragmenter in Linux

[John Pierce]

<<I wasn't saying that. But writing to the files *during installation*
might result in fragmentation.>>

Just my two cents, if you install to a freshly formatted partition and
the install has to write 20,000 files during package installation I
cannot see the fs code scattering the files all of creation.

For example, when the mozilla package is installed I cannot see the
mozilla binary being written to random sectors of the disc, I see the
binary being written sequentially from start to finish.

Would this be a correct assumption?
