She has some Linux literacy but no experience installing. The only difficult section was the hard disk partition editor, and that could probably have been avoided if she had done the "Erase entire hard disk hda" instead of "Edit manually" which was for my benefit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
