TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
And welcome to it. But if you get rich-and-famous and do any old-school publishing (on physical CDs), I want a freebie copy of your first commercial release. Signed. :-)

Lumpy Cadeaux sounds like a blues band. In fact, I think I'll just call my next band that.

Kevin,
Personally, I am usually for hewing to the KISS principle.
Since the instructions will ship with one or the other product and not
both, why not something simpler that finesses the problem and saves
space to boot:
"Insert the Lumpy Toolkit CD."
It would be darned difficult to mistake which CD is meant and the
results would be appropriate for users of either product.
You also avoid the unnecessary complexity of both the original suggestions.
