My personal response to this question is "I'm Cheap." My mobo doesn't support booting of CD Rom and the only spare CD Rom drive I have doesn't read CDRs (altho obtaining one of these freely wouldn't be too much trouble) - replacing those was outta the question. I installed DCD on HD - cause I had one of those lying around and even worked out the boot up process and everything (I'm not much of a scripter). Definitely, assuming a Compact Flash adapter would work with my Mobo (which should be the case), your approach would have been easier. But then, I'm Cheap, and its more fun having a router that smokes a Linksys and some Ciscos, that didn't cost me a dime, works perfectly and expanded my knowledge base.
