Depends.

If you've got the all-singing, all-dancing new installer -- yes.
In about 6 key-clicks.  (Says Andy.  Of course, he could be lying.
But as he is trained in law, it's difficult for him to distinguish 
between outright mendicity and creative use of language.  Sigh.)

Otherwise no.   :-)

[And btw -- it's *always* advisable to have a list of your hardware to 
hand, *whatever* distribution you're installing.]

Andy -- how do we get Kelvin a copy of the new installer version?
One that comes with cast-iron guarantees not to blow up his screen or rape 
his hamster?
