CD burners are not that great. Think about it, the more data there is
to copy, the more likely one of the files will have an error that can
crash your entire hard disk or the game will not run correctly because
one lousy error in one stupid file out of a total of 600 meg. Even
copying floppys is dangerous since it can also cause errors in the
second copy.

If you really want a reliable product with out file errors when
installing, get the real thing. For me I don't like to get software
that is cheap or free and then spend a whole day trying to figure out
how to install with one file error preventing it from proceeding. Is
it really worth it to waste your time for a "free" product? Is it
really free when you wasted that much time?
