I just burned the dvd1.iso to a cd-r this morning and used it to install to
a laptop. Worked great. I think there is some confusion about compression on
the iso file. There is none on the file in question. Previous DVD iso files
have been compressed, which gives it a filename of dvd1.iso.xz. The 9.0BETA2
file is not compressed though.
