Unless you've got something on your network that requires it, you can safely
delete it and do all your networking over TCP/IP. Also, as I recall, the
CD is only required when you add something, not delete. About the only
other advantage of using NetBEUI, is if your network is connected directly
to the internet (bad idea) and you want to make sure your file and print
services are not available beyond your network. A far better way to do
that, is use a cheap firewall/router box, to isolate your lan from the
internet.
