Items 1 and 3 are basically referring to a "Poor Man's Install" or "PMI". Search these forums or use the link to the documents section for further instructions on how to go about doing that. As for the dd /home folder I am too new to doing this myself to further expound upon that.

thanks. i figured it probably possbile but its better to ask.
i did a google search but could not find the answer (probably phrasing the question wrong)
. i'll try the poor man install and see if that works.
