If you are prepared to actually read the documentation and research |
| 10 |
anything you don't understand you can probably do it. If you expect to |
| 11 |
just press a few buttons and by magic have everything working, not a |
| 12 |
chance. So read the installation guide and give it a go, the worst |
| 13 |
that will happen is you have to re-format the HD and install a |
| 14 |
different OS. |
