I just bought the Canon 20d and it came with some software called "Digital Photo Professional 1.6"
I have Photoshop CS2 that I use for RAW. (I always shoot RAW)
Is there any point in installing DPP?

The short answer (no) but why not try it and see if you like it. Here are some links.

| Maybe (there is an update that can be downloaded from the Canon site that has a few more features). If you are doing a lot of pictures, you might find something like DPP faster than pulling each image into PS. If you are looking at RAW software have a look at some of the other converters - rawshooter e.t.c. |

I use both DPP and Photoshop.
DPP is very useful for certain purposes.
I use DPP to process large numbers of RAW images into proofs. The ability to create and reuse a adjustments across many photos is very handy. I'll do a quick color and level adjustment for all the images using DPP and then batch process into jpeg images from proofing by myself or online with the subject/customer.
For the images to get additional processing, I will generate 16bit TIFF images and then pull into photoshop.
All of my image editing is done in photoshop.

But can't you do that with Photoshop CS2 as well? Maybe I am just confused...LOL I can open up a bunch of images, adjust them all the same at one time, and then save them or open them for further adjusting.

You can do the same thing in photoshop, but it's not as easy. For example, I'll usually shoot a gray card or calibration target as a white point reference. I'll pull that image up in DPP and do my white balance. I can then copy those settings to the clipboard, select all the images captured with the same light, and past in the 'recipe'. I can use an action to do this in photoshop, but it isn't nearly as easy.
I also like the results from DPP's RAW conversion better than what I get with Adobe CS.
