I was told by an IBM compiler type not to add any CSD patches to the
compiler on the CD.

There is a Bookmaster/READ2 application that uses these.  This can be
installed from the main install application.

The install script should create a PM window and give you several
options in addition to installing the beta release.  Among them are 
options to create installation disk sets, add other beta products (this
is where you can install the compiler and tools, etc.), and install
a bunch of smaller applets and tools.
