Look here for a list of what's on the cd:
http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/gnuwin.epfl.ch/iso/readme.html (one of the
mirrors). They've added a "bonus" cd now for stuff that didn't fit on
the regular cd, but I think all the good stuff is on the first CD.
The CD interface is basically the same as GNUWin's webpage interface.
The difference is when you browse to a particular program, you have a
"install" link rather than a "download" link. The install link brings
you to the exe file to install the program.
