TurboNet driver install question

I am going to upgrade my SONY SAT T-60 Dtivo with a larger hard drive and a TurboNet ethernet adapter. I've read up on the procedures and nothing seems like it will be a problem. My TurboNet adapter arrived in the mail today and I can't wait to install it. I have one question though regarding the TurboNet drivers for the DirectTivo units. I know i'll need to flash my PROM with a "tivoflash/install" script from a linix boot CD so the TurboNet drivers will not be deleated. My question is this, do I need to delete this script from my Tivo A drive after i've flashed my PROM and put the drive back in my computer to install the TurboNet driver. Correct me if i'm wrong but wont my PROM get flashed everytime my Tivo gets rebooted. Flashing a PROM always makes me nervous. I would rather it not happen after every reboot. Unless the is required of course.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

No you do not need to delete anything after the PROM is flashed. If you follow the step-by-step documented on silicondust.com for configuring your TurboNet you will be fine.
