Any place in the filesystem you have rights to, and room enough. The iso is about 1.2GB, installs a bare bones wheezy and an older v2.7.something lcnc. You no doubt have your own list of must haves to install via the package manager. I'm rather partial to synaptic. Run it as synapic-pkexec from your login. It will ask you for your pw to get your sudo rights. k3b is a good dvd burner. My place is all wired, stays private that way, so you will need to setup your wifi. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
