They're not all obvious, eg .discinfo and such.

The only thing you need to burn is the boot.iso file in the images dir on cd1. This is all the boot disks in one iso. You don't even need that, you could just make a boot floppy, but I like the cd :) > I ran the test media feature and didn't get anything reported and it > tried to continue > with the installation.
