I would prefer to not link the download page to our temporary wiki, as it doesn't look that good imho. an extra translatable page on the website would sound good, i suppose: rough format: ----------------- What to do with this iso file? first, choose the right one for you. ==> explanation about 32bit/64bit ==> mention about dualboot ==> mention about live iso and how you can install that if you want ==> mention about the other isos and briefly what they mean option 1) burn it to CD/DVD with your favourite CD/DVD burner ==> examples with small screenshot from windows/macosx/linux ==> notice on size of iso and CD or DVD format, notion about RW also being ok ==> explanation of verifying md5sum option 2) how to put an iso on a stick? ==> examples with small screenshot from windows/macosx/linux ==> explanation of verifying md5sum option 3) virtualisation ==> briefly mention XEN/KVM/Vbox/VMWare ==> explanation of importance of verifying an md5sum something like this...
