Michael....the only differences between the 7.0 and 7.0-2 iso
images (the GPL CD or 'disc one' in a boxed set) is in the
installation routines, that means the programs whose only job
is to actually run the installation process. The end product
of that installation, that means the software that is on your
hard drive after the installation is complete is exactly the
same no matter which iso image (GPL CD or 'disc 1') you used
to do the install. Concerning the extra CD's in a boxed set,
there will be no difference in a boxed set other than 'disc 1'
and I already explained the difference between the two
possible 'disc one's' at the beginning of this message. None
of the 'extra' CD's in any of the boxed sets have changed.
