    You can either inspect the contents of the discs or just start the installation using disc 1. The software will usually prompt for you to install the next disc.

    I remember my XPi 400, it was my first laptop. Man I loved it. Gave it to a girlfriend after it was to slow for me to use so she could do Photoshop on it. It was more than fast enough compared to her desktop at the time.
