[ale] a quick installer

[Greg]

There is a device with 2 ide cables on it that transfers all of one HD to
another. It looks like a handheld scanner.  That is a cheap HD solution.  Of
course you could also just burn an image of what you want and let it fly
once you have initially put the cd into the machine.
