I actually meant with a DVD drive, but probably forgot to say that in
my original message.
This works up to a point. That is, I can begin the installation
process, but when loading the kernel from the DVD, it soon comes to a
halt (this is with F11, 64-bit, purely investigatory, as I shall try with F12
once I have downloaded the ISO for that).

Hm. It doesn't actually answer my question outright, but I think the
answer is I can't do it - I will need to retain a minimal Mac OSX
partition. :-(
(I can't spare the disk space for two OSes, as I use
the Air as a repository for digital photographs when on holiday. I
filled the disk last year with one day to go of a fortnight in
thailand - fortunately the 8GB memory card on the camera didn't fill
on the last day).
