Difference between CD- and Meta-Install

[Inspired12]

One of the computers that we use Ubuntu Studio on is older and has no dvd
rom. we have an external usb dvd but bios wont let us boot from it, so
the only way we could get ubuntu studio was to install ubuntu and then the
packages. So far there have been very little complains or differences,
in the latest release the only diff i noticed is that the login screen is
the hardy heron one, not the ubuntu studio. is there a package missing?
