[64studio-devel] Installing and Website

[Christian Muise]

  Just a quick update on this. I finally got around to moving the
partitions, and slapping studio64 on the second one (close enough for the
boot loader to find). The default install didn't work (stomach dropped), but
starting the install again and making the windows partition bootable fixed
it all up fine.

  I've just got a few more questions:
- Where can I find info on the best settings for jack?
- What apt sources should be put in? At the moment all that's there is the
cdrom.

  Thanks. Cheers.
