I'm not one to advocate leaving windows on any computor, But with the poormans install and floppy boot, windoze serves one purpose to load the 50 mb file onto the hard drive on older computors that don't boot from CD or have a USB port.

Who needs windows when we have no walls?

Yes, it is useful in that regard.

I suppose you could also get MSDOS + your custom CDROM DOS driver file to copy it over but this is harder to do than to simply use the existing (already configured) operating system to do the job.
