Of course not - it just seems silly not to put EVERYTHING on the DVD
Why not put it all on the DVD?
I guess it's going to be another 'the lawyers said so' issue.
(Of course that doesn't cover the docs not being there!)
You still need to have the CD's if you want to access all the data
that is on the CD's in the box - much better if 1 DVD was all you
needed if you have a DVD drive.
The current DVD is full of lots of empty space - why not use it?
