You have posted that email to me only. Sending this reply to the list.
They are the installation isos. The last DVD is usually just updates.
I don't know if they also contain the source code.
Others on the list can advice.
Perhaps?:-

I recommend any installation be done from a netinstall or business card
cd - they download only the required packages from the repository rather
than all 17GB.
DVDs and CDs get read errors - repositories don't. Lenny isn't about to
vanish any-time soon.
There are plenty of instructions should you wish to create a local
repository mirror.
Cheers
