Hi Ken,
It did change in SL 5.  It is now at

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/50/i386/SL/repodata/comps-sl.xml

Why there?
Well, with RHEL 5, RedHat started chopping their comps up and putting them in 
the various directories relating to that product.  And that is where they put them.
So there was a
Client/repodata/comps-client.xml
Server/repodata/comps-server.xml
VT/repodata/comps-vt.xml
and so forth.

The installer basically does a big "and" or "&&" and combines them all 
together, just like yum does with the grouplists when you have different 
repositories.

We left ours in the same spot as RedHat did so that when we create sites, the 
sites are able to have their own comps.xml
