You do not need to install it as it will run from a boot disk, or in my case a boot CD.
I'm still very wary of licensing issues with regard to this. I know that Ghost, for example, clearly states that you need once license of Ghost per workstation being imaged. That means you aren't allowed to just use it from a boot CD. I've just found a copy of the license for Partition Magic 8.0, and it clearly states that you are only allowed to use it on a number of machines that you have licensed it for. If you personally have a legal, unlimited workstation license for Partition Magic and wish to offer that as a resource for use, then that might be an option. Otherwise, the WLUG cannot have anything to do with it at any official WLUG events. What you do on your own computer is up to you, and I'm not in any way trying to tell you what do in your own time. At a WLUG event, however, we have to obey the rules. As a side note here, one of the LUG's charter points is for the promtion of Open Source software and Operating Systems. This is extended in another point to include "other Free Operating Systems", and the definitions of Free Software and Open Source Software are mentioned at the bottom of the Charter. I'm sure we all know the difference between "Free" software and software which, for whatever reason, you don't pay for, but in case some reader's aren't aware of this they are at the URLs linked below. http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
