Short: yes. Long: You may want to read the involved manpages (as they are on the cd, a new window and 'man foo' will do the trick'), and there were rumours about disk/fdisk writting 'foreign' partitions in another order (never happened to me as I do not dual-boot). > After preparing the necessary sub-partitions the install program will > ask for the image ie local and it will find it? after you have told it were to find it (it will list all available (supported) partitions, then ask for the image (or the root of it) in that FS). >Thereafter I should proceed as per the > directions. Right? I have never done this myself but I do not see any further problems - the installation should, despite the 'where is the distribution'-step, behave like in the wiki/as everytime... .
