Well, it has to be on a partition you aren't going to format that will be
mountable during the install.  I keep it on C: (hda0 on FC6), which is
FAT32.  NTFS would be harder.  Any EXT2/3 partition that you aren't going
to format should work fine, though I haven't tried putting the image on,
say, /, and upgrading.
