Sorry, but the wrapper came after the physical box sets were created.  The 
HPwrapper was created to wrap about the installation of Red Hat Linux 7.2 for 
Alpha to allow installation of Red Hat Linux 7.2 on Alpha systems which did 
not have kernel support in the original Red Hat 7.2 distribution. It is NOT 
full installation media. Installation with this wrapper requires Red Hat 
Linux 7.2 for Alpha installation media.
