Requiring the CD in something that amounts to a game or home fun
program is the norm, no matter how much you install. Allowing someone
to install the full install and then never use the cd would certainly
be convenient, but it would also make it incredibly easy to pirate
this software, something TLG obviously is trying to prevent - else you
(and I) could make backup copies of the CDROM. I know you can't, I've
used every bit of cd copying software known to man on it and can't
make it work.
