Hi downloaded latest LXDE and installed to USB stick drive to allow me to install on my Acer Apire one.

Boots and works lovely except there appears to be no install facility anywhere to pop it on the hard drive. I have checked everywhere (3 times honest)

Can I run it from a terminal and if so what is the command please. I'm trying to reinstall PClinux on my netbook as it's an old version which won't upgrade.

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Tony

After installation the system removes the installer so you have to re-install it from the package manager. draklive-install is the name of the installer.
