Not really. Almost nobody installs all sources at the same time
and I would not even want the option in the installer: Instead,
I prefer to have the option to install + PACKAGES with sources.

Maybe the installer should just assume FULL install + sources + (2x) old OS

If you do not have a CD drive for your PC, then it would be useful to buy a
USB CD or DVD-RW drive. It is always useful, so it is not a waste of money. You
can use later for a lot of interesting things. And it is not very expensive,
around 100 RON in Romania, so 32 dollars.

And I may add, if you can not boot from USB you should either purchase a
legacy floppy or a legacy CD-ROM.
With help of those you may be even able to use these devices as a kicker
to boot up USB.

That depends. First, go into your BIOS and see if it supports booting from
USB; you should be able to find this out by going into the "Boot Order"
menu. If there's a USB option, then yes, you probably can; otherwise, no,
you'll have to find a floppy drive somewhere.

Hi Bonnie,
I recommend to use a normal file, not /dev/fd0, to
save the mbr. Of course you should put a copy of the
file in a place where you can reach it if your Linux

second harddisk, use /dev/hdb instead of /dev/hda,
and so on. a / b are prima

Next time save the MBR before doing OS installs if you have a boot loader
