I'm one of the many noobs out here who might benefit from the answer to this question. Should I set up to boot from MMC first or upgrade to OS2008 and then make the boot 'disk' ?

I want to be able to run KOffice, which requires both. I received my IT on Friday and have been enjoying just getting to know it for now, but I'm pretty sure KOffice is where I'm headed. I don't have any XTerm experience, so setting up to boot from MMC won't be trivial.

So which should come first, now that the official 2008 is out?
