	Skill level: Medium
	The instructions on this page require a basic knowledge of linux.

Bootable USB Disk - 2GB is sufficient
SME Image - SME 8 - download it
USB Disk Creation Software
- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
  - Universal USB Installer

Note: I'm using Windows 7 - Assume rest of World is too

ALSO:

Copy the SME ISO you downloaded onto the USB disk
- SME Installation requires this image, simply copy the iso image to the USB Drive

In your new Hardware ...

Boot from USB
Select Install from Hard Disk
Choose Partition
- Mine was /dev/sdb1 when there was a partition - it was /dev/sda1 when no partition
- It will want to know where your .iso image is, I just hit enter (because it was in the root of my usb)

When it booted I had to write Grub (see: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/GrubInstallation)
1. find /grub/stage1
2. root (hd0,0)
3. setup (hd0)
4. reboot

Long Live SME ...
