There's no need to to run the CD to configure the router. As was
already said, just point your browser at 192.168.1.1 and log in as
admin:admin.

As an aside, I bought a number of these routers at Staples (they were
on special) and reflashed them with OpenWRT http://openwrt.org (made
one of the sales guys check the serial numbers on all their inventory
to make sure they're v4 and not v5).

It is possible to reflash the router with White Russian RC4 through
the Linksys web interface without spending time on any of the hacks to
enable boot_wait and TFTP (at least on the v4).
