Surely inserting a second CD is no big deal; I had to insert lotsa
flopiies to install my first Linux and my first OS/2.
Mind you, I'd be annoyed if I had to insert the first CD twice. That would
reflect poor design.
Note: there is no reason a user HAS to reboot at all; it should be
possible for a user to keep on using.
