Actually I always leave or install a small Windows partition on my Linux machines. I find that I occasionally need them, eg when updating firmware.
I don't have the religious objections many Linux users have. As Henry IV said, "Paris is worth a mass".
And most xDSL modems have nice web GUI, CD's are mostly used as idiot-proof measure with nice colored setup program.
In this case, when I go to the modem web-page (192.168.1.254) it asks me to insert the CD "for further information".
