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.
