OK, if I understand you correctly, the only confusing part (well, it confused me, anyhow) is the Note on the live CD; I mis-parsed "initial installation only" as "You can't do anything after you install" rather than "this nukes what's there". How about something like? Note: The Slim installer currently cannot upgrade any existing operating-system installation; it will perform an initial install, replacing any software and data on the target disk. -T
