When ever i can i don't install games anymore. When i know that a game has a "portable mode", discovering it with the internet or whatever, i just install the baseline game and the last official patch, configure what needs to be for portable mode, and zip the directory, then place the no-cd and current unofficial patch in a directory with the game.

Allows one to experiment with mods without having to get the disks all the time or that tedious install process that is basically unziping anyway.

Games i know this works on:
Bloodlines (got it to work with the fglrx drivers yay).
Thief 1 & 2
Gothic II
Infinity engine games
Fallout 1 & 2

and probably many others.
