Well, its been a while since I installed from an ISO; so forgive me..
I like net installs ;)
When I last did, though; I seem to remember that the X sets were there;
then.. at that point, a second CD was not needed.
Worst case, install and tell it you want the X sets; if it does not
install them.. grab them from the ftp server and untar (they are .tgz).
I believe a simple 'tar zxvpf ...tgz' should work from '/', but i'd
double check.
