and beginners will confuse with it, "oh, which media I should download...?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* possible solution
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
do quick hack
* rename iso files
- add "install" to first media
- remove "-1" from each first media
- add "optional" to other media
+ renumber (2 -> 1, 3 -> 2)
- add "standalone" for update media
* add README file that describes about each media
