easy enough to do at home, but I have to take the machine 
with me. I don't want to be picking up stuff and I don't 
want to then leave stuff either. For what I need, it will 
just be a base install, with firefox and openoffice etc. I 
just need to pull stuff down from the internet 
occassionally.

I'm wondering if anyone knows.
