Installing Garmin Mobile PC w/o DVD Drive?

Hey guys- just got my Acer Aspire One UMPC (which I adore) and before I by GMPC I just want to ask if anyone has installed it w/o a DVD drive... Would it be as simple as copying a .exe file to a thumb drive using another computer and then installing off of that drive?

Any thoughts greatfully appreciated as always!

Cheers,

Jon

You probably can load it from a large enough thumb drive. Be aware that the DVD is slightly over 1 gig. Its not the executable that takes the space but the compiled maps. Everything is installed at once.
