A default desktop install (no servers, Gnome, accept all defaults that 
affect which packages get installed) requires the first three disks.  I 
saw this behavior on both i386 and x86_64 installs.  I actually only 
burnt the first three disks for the x86_64 install and then just used 
yum to add anything else I wanted on the system.

Cheers,
Dave
