You are being very optimistic.
TL (formerly ML) CDs have always been more than 2 CDs.
It would be nice if IBM could offer iso images of their TL/ML CDs
for download, just as they did for the microcode.
This would allow users to burn new CDs from time to time,
I've experienced the IBM delivered ones to "wear out" after only
1 or 2 years.
