Installation Steps
- Download Live CD ISO image.
Download and install Unetbootin to a working computer
- Create and extra "installer" partition (on the HDD) in addition to the partitions needed for the OS
- Use Unetbootin to put the iso file on the "installer" partition and make it bootable
- Install HDD into computer, boot up the computer and cross fingers
- If computer boots up to the Unetbootin menu, chose the option to check CD integrity.
