* '''NO LVM''': No need to use LVM (if you know what that is). That may help once we have support for it, however, for the time being, it complicates things sometimes (unless you know what you are doing).

* '''Static IP''': Use a statically configured IP address: 192.168.1.10 with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, typically. Remember to also jot down other network settings such as gateway and DNS server IP addresses before you start.
