Thanks for your help.
Think of it this way: a computer without the installation CDs/DVDs is like a car without keys: useless. You will eventually lock yourself out and need those keys to get back in. Would you also give your car keys to your cousin and let him leave the country with them?

Installing an operating system is not a "one-time install, then get rid of the CDs." You will need those CDs at some point in your computer's life.
