The first step is to set up some persistence. I choose a 16Gb USB stick. I figured, since it's an experiment, and since harddisks are somewhat in short supply...why not.
First step: boot with the CD .. and the USB stick plugged in.
Second step: recon:
came up with sda as drive...the USB stick, as the harddrive is unplugged.
Third step: lay out the drive
and calculate the partitions:
...and add them, of course.
Fourth step: format the partitions
For the insiders, partitioning is not formatting...but, you know this...
Make sda1 bootable and turn sda2 into a Linux swap...
