I just bought SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition, it comes with eight
CD's: Three pairs of CD's for 32-bit x86, x64, and Itanium-based
installations; an MSDN Library CD; and...

The other CD (next-to-last in the box) has kind-of a scalloped design
around the edges, it's labeled "SQL Server 2005 Developer
Edition" (just like the first six CD's), it says:

"This disc contains 32-bit x86, x64, and Itanium-based software."

When it autoPlays, it asks me to select my type of OS. When I select
x86, it brings up a screen that I think is pretty much the same as
that on the "32-bit x86" CD, and it includes a message that this is
"disc 1 of 2" even though there's not a second scalloped CD.

What's on this mystery CD? My installation seems to have gone well
without it, and I don't have a clue about what purpose it serves.

Thanks for your help!

I don't have the same SQL-Server 2005 Developer Edition but this is probably
a DVD with a copy of all the other six CD's.

Closer inspection reveals that that's exactly what it is, I can't
believe I missed it. Thanks for your help!
