Some people use it with a keychain drive. Having done
this, they set up symlinks to files in /etc. Perhaps
it would be less trouble in the long run if they
installed it to the HD.

The download link to which I was referred is fairly
slow, due to the traffic. But it does not tie up the
connection while it downloads.
