If you are prepared to actually read the documentation and research
anything you don't understand you can probably do it. If you expect to
just press a few buttons and by magic have everything working, not a
chance. So read the installation guide and give it a go, the worst
that will happen is you have to re-format the HD and install a
different OS.
