After formatting the partitions, I was prompted immediately for disc 2 to 
install glibc. It used disc 2 all the way through, then prompted to disc 3. 
Then when after it got to Amanda on disc 3, it started shuffling. I swapped 
to disc 1, pulled 1-2 packages, then back to disk 3 for 10 or so more, then 
back to 1, then to 3... then ended on 1. This continued 10 or more times. 
Most end users won't go for this. There was no excessive (i.e. more than 
once) 2 to 1 or 2 to 3 disc swapping.

Unfortunately I didn't take note of which packages caused the swap.
