That's more or less it under OS X 10.6 (Snow leopard). There's only
one DVD but there's the option to install the /Developer folder
(containing Xcode). This can be done at any time subsequently by
remounting the DVD.

Haven't upgraded to Lion yet (OS X 10.7). It discontinues Rosetta
which I still need. No idea how you install Xcode under Lion yet
(there's no DVD, just a download). Presumably if you install over Snow
leopard it simply leaves your /Developer folder intact? (It had
better... grr!) Somebody tell me, please?
