Thanks! Btw, have you figured out, how to remove those apps that come with Xwindow manager? Like XCalc, they look so outdated.
These apps are part of a core package – X window system. So I’d recommend just removing them from the menu. You can find more details about how to do that here: http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfdesktop
Just one more thing…there is no way to install the system to HDD if you download the ISO.
