You probably realized later that you didn't need all five.  Just like 
with Solaris, who ever boots off the actual install disc? :)  In this 
case, you really do boot off what intuitive thinking would lead you to 
boot from.  But 4 & 5 are just source code.

You didn't really answer the version question.  I'll have to ass-ume it 
was sometime before 1.0.

Must have been a very early release then.  Give 1.0 a try.  Or at least 
hold off on negative comments about Aurora until you've tried their 
first stable release (everything before 1.0 should not be considered 
stable and should not be used as a basis for evaluating the distro).
