I would prefer to not link the download page to our temporary wiki, as it
doesn't look that good imho.
an extra translatable page on the website would sound good, i suppose:
rough format:
-----------------
What to do with this iso file?
first, choose the right one for you.
==> explanation about 32bit/64bit
==> mention about dualboot
==> mention about live iso and how you can install that if you want
==> mention about the other isos and briefly what they mean
option 1) burn it to CD/DVD with your favourite CD/DVD burner
==> examples with small screenshot from windows/macosx/linux
==> notice on size of iso and CD or DVD format, notion about RW also being ok
==> explanation of verifying md5sum
option 2) how to put an iso on a stick?
==> examples with small screenshot from windows/macosx/linux
==> explanation of verifying md5sum
option 3) virtualisation
==> briefly mention XEN/KVM/Vbox/VMWare
==> explanation of importance of verifying an md5sum
something like this...
