I think they're wrong in recommending a huge installation, it just duplicates all files and doubles the used disc space. Since the CD is actually mounted from the real HD, a minimum installation won't run any slower AFAIK. The game can't be played without CD anyway even if you made a huge installation.
When applying the .213 patch, if you chose the minimum installation, the patch installs a 22 MB file from the (virtual) CD into the (virtual) HD, because it assumes that it wouldn't be able to patch a file in a CD-ROM. I don't think there's any problem in moving it back into the CD, but I haven't tested the result thoroughly.
