I did a fresh install - and usually it prompts me for the Applications cd towards the end of the installation. For some reason it didn't. Any ideas why? I didn't change any of the default options and normally with other OS installs in the past it's prompted me.
 
Apple introduced an unchained installation for computers sold after December 2008. Previously you could not complete an archive and install without inserting the second disc even if you didn't need to reinstall iLife. You also needed to insert the first disc, just to reinstall iLife and the bundled applications which were on the second disc. With the updated installer you can get by with just installing one disc or the other or both.
