This is sensible food for thought.
I'm quite IT savvy and know the sorts of places where you might find such things for downloading, but I weighed up the pros of doing this (free) with the cons (would I find the right version, would I be able to burn the image properly, would I know the reason why it ultimately didn't work, etc) and decided for the relatively low cost of nav discs on eBay it wasn't worth the pain in the neck it can be trying to do myself.
Had I had easy access to lots of spare writable DVDs and a decent burner I may have made a different choice...
