<PRE>Hello!
I remember that when I created a usb from ISO I had some strange
problem making the USB bootable. Maybe some comment on how to do that?
I don't remember how I did it then, but I assume using fdisk or
something? Dismount the USB, fidks /dev/sdb1 (or whatever it could be
on the users computer) and change the bootable flag (?). And a comment
on how to find the device for the USB.
Other than that this looks like a good design.
Regards,
David

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