Hi Darrick, I'd like to implement something like opt 1 on a regular PC.
I will use a liveCD and copy my 0.4.8 "production" usbkey to a new one and start configuring and testing on a test rig. Ideally I'd like to keep my 0.4.8 setup on the HD (w. usbkey 1) and 0.6.1 on live CD (w. usbkey 2). I want to do this because my "production" rig is very different from my much older idsn-less test rig. So I expect a few new issues once I switch over to the "production" rig and could go back and forth with this method. How do I need to adapt you procedure? Thanks Daniel P.S. I'm not a linux guru, but use regularly enough to be familiar.
