Unless you need to modify the hardware settings you don't need it for 
anything when installing Linux.
It's only purpose is hardware configuration and creation of the EISA 
partition. Now you don't actually need the EISA partition at all. It's just 
convenient sometimes when you need to change a hardware setting and can't be 
bothered to boot from the CD.

The SmartStart for Servers CD is bootable. The Management CD is not.
