That's exactly my intention. :) I don't like to have CD-ROM as primary 
boot device on my laptop all the time. But sometimes booting a CD is very 
handy and I do not like fiddling within the BIOS all the time. 
Unfortunately my BIOS does not offer a separate boot menu where you can 
quickly select a boot device.
