I downloaded the ISO yesterday and burned a CD. Today I did my BACKUP on
windows
and repartittioned my drive. Notice the capitals with backup. Important!!!!
I didn't need to use
them but IMPORTANT anyway. I come from a Unix back ground DO BACKUPS,. Ok
off my soap
box. Also keep original disks with anything you buy for the PC.

From partitioning to final boot up about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Ok, now I am
going to see what
I have to play with.
