This is true.  It's is noted in the install documentation on the CD-ROM. 
I highly suggest people take a look at it and offer suggestions.  We
don't default to /disc because we don't want to overwrite people's other
Master Boot Record by default.  Yes, it's one small step on installs,
but it's also majorly less of a risk of toasting your dual boots by
accident.

The solution to this is a simple symlink:

ln -s libintl.so.3 /usr/lib/libintl.so.2 && ldconfig && cast -c wget && rm 
/usr/lib/libintl.so.2
