Can I skip that step somehow so it just mines with the CPU?

nothing personal Ali, it was just your post to let me become mad!

This thread is filled with CPU miners complaining about stuff, I do not get why you people still care that much about CPU mining?! My CPUs get 3MH/s each even my crappy 2 year old nvidia graphics does 28MH/s using less power... want it? 5 btc + shipping! If it is a game, pay for it before you play with it, you know ck's BTC address! You won't ever return any amount of investment with CPU mining. Let me do the math for you, ~2 valid shares/hour per core, 2 BTC sent to ck for fixing up some cpu related stuff in cgminer == 4.6 CPU-Years without increase in difficulty to pay the 2 BTC at current difficulty... think of the environment, you waste +95W for 2 BTC a year (reference is Athlon II X4 in this case and difficulty is not raised)...

Buy a $200 gpu and have it payed in 3-5 month including your powerbills... or buy the 2 BTC for $20
