[Liverpool] Netbook install fest

[Paul Leech]

Just a note of caution. If you are thinking of installing or showing others
about how to install another operating system on to netbooks.  You need to
make sure that there is some kind of agreement between the person whose
netbook is being changed just in case something goes awry.  Also you need to
make sure that they have saved any of their personal data before their
operating system is erased and replaced.
