I recommended installing onto a USB device. They're readily available and should boot as mass storage on most modern BIOSes. I had two reasons:
- Not all "modern" equipment comes with optical drives any longer. An external optical drive might be needed to boot optical media, which a retailer may not have available, and may cause some delay if you bring your own and attempt to exit the store with it in hand.
- My live media is now out-of-date, the most recent version is based on 5.0-release. I'd recommend installing 5.2-release or -current onto USB if looking to acquire new equipment. (I will evenutually update the live media; I just have not had time to do so.)
