So it's actually better to have a link than not, even if it's to the
wrong cd of several (a rare case I'd guess).
Actually, I'm not a new user and I do lots of installs.
I personally would like to see a default link setup -- it's one less
thing I have to do. I wouldn't mind if Matt's suggested dialog was
medium in the case of multiple detected devices, but I rarely put
two cd's of any kind in one box.
