Not all will allow you to load from the hd either. Copying to the hd works (as discussed) with M7 and M7.1 on the 50 but not the 70, but only in the text installation version and this doesn't allow quite the same selection of facilities. Of course, you could go to www.linuxfromscratch.com and roll your own...
