I don't see how that could be any less easy than putting the Windows CD in the
drive and then hitting <enter>.

Now just a minute there, Chris ... You don't make any fewer typos than I do
and if I had to type a line of gibberish such as what you showed us all a week

is a mistake waiting to happen. How do more keystrokes make it more reliable?
