It seems they are using some sort of "compression" and actually
putting a WHOLE OPERATING SYSTEM on a single DVD ! There's even some
scheme to do "hardware recognition" of sorts, presuming you've got
compatible hardware and the drivers around somewhere (maybe on an
install CD ? Check the drawers, you wouldn't have thrown it out)
