iTunes disc vs. download

[Ferrence]

I received my Vipod 5G the other day and synch'd it to my Powerbook. Everything is working perfectly, but here's my question:

Do I have to load the CD that came with the iPod (iTunes, etc.), or is just plugging, synching and playing okay?

I assume that the latest software (I'm running iTunes 6.0.1), etc. would transfer during the synching process, right?

Just wondering...

The CD contains iTunes and the iPod software - both downloadable from Apple.com...

They include the CD for people who don't know how to use the internet... there are many.

Thanks. I was wondering, just in case.

The disk is more important for windows, I believe, where some drivers are required and iTunes might not be preinstalled (though I'd guess it's all available from Apple's site, there'd just be more to download).
