Yes, with probably a little downloading after it's installed for the few packages that you might want off of the other ones. > Are the tools categorized by importance to which CD they are on? Yes-ish > example; are development tools on CD1? Er, not all of them, and they're not laid out in a CD3=applications type manner. You need CD1_NONUS (or CD1 in the US), CD2 is helpful, but not essential, the rest have stuff you might use, but I cannot tell you which CD it's on --- as long as you have a sequence from 1, you can use as few or many as you like, and whatever's missing will get downloaded.
