Necessary or not, it wouldn't work in my DVD drive.
(It's about 8 years old though)  My friend said it was
probably because the disk was dual-layered, since his
drive could read it and his wife's could not. (a
slightly newer but still not dual-layer drive)

Could be that no one even considered that it would be
a factor with the end user. After all, you can use the
CD to start an install through other media (LAN, web,
etc.) or just download the iso's for the 5 Cd's. (They
did list the address in the front of the book)


I may have lost the point/meaning of your post, but I'm pretty sure
that there is nothing special about the DVD iso, except for maybe that
it doesn't take up an entire DVD disk and i hate waisting space on
write-once optical media.
