In theory, one could copy the entire CD contents to hard drive, and
install from there, but in my experience it doesn't copy all the files
right, resulting in my having to manually copy over the files from the
\inst directory.

However, you can use the install routine from a DOS window, installing
from the CD.  After the installation is finished, copy priv.tre and
rf.tre to your install directory, and open up [priv/rf].cfg in your
preferred text editor.  Edit the line to point to the relevant files
on your HD (only one line in each file, so it's not hard to find ;) ).
