If you boot the CD and start the installation program there is an option
to upgrade and/or add additional packages to an existing installation.
That is how I subsequently added games to my 1.5.2 installation.
It brings up the list of sets, I just picked the games and proceeded,
thankfully it skipped the partition and format steps installed what I
requested ;-)
