Hello,
The media on CD1 is actually the same whether you have R2 or not.
The R2 product key simply exposes the new components for R2 via Add\remove
components,
As long as you don't use the second CD, your installed OS is the same as
Windows Server 2003 with SP1 ( Windows Server 2003 x64 editions includes
SP1 by default)
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
