Thanks for that - I might start experimenting anyway . .
One experiment:
I have an 8TB backup server installed with Atomic - am I able to do a
bare-metal install by booting a live USB and then installing CoreOS BUT
not touch the /home partition? - there should be plenty of space to
install if the first four standard partitions are zapped?

Phil.
