Please don't do this. My laptop only has a CD burner, and cannot burn DVDs.

I prefer the DVDs for my desktop, but that is only because it has a DVD burner.

I think you'll find far more people with laptops that are stuck with drives 
that can read DVDs but can only burn CDs.

I cannot netinstall from another system, and I prefer clean installs over live 
upgrades. Plus I've had to redo my laptop a few times and then I can't do live 
upgrade at all.
