not sure why you would want to do that if you have disks... but that begs the questions of "where you got those disks from?" and "which version of FG do you have?"
media containing FG can be purchased from the FG folks on their site... the money from those purchases go toward the project...
there are others out there selling media with FG, too, though... they can do that... the licensing allows for it to be done but they must provide all the support as well as the source code...
of course, any media purchased containing FG may be slightly behind the current release... that should not be a problem, though, as one should still be able to download newer versions and install them... that would bring them updated binaries as well as updated FGData... the scenery is easiest updated by enabling the automatic scenery download (aka terrasync) in the launcher... the craft are also easily updated from within the launcher...

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
