LiveCDs don't get installed. You might write a few config files to the floppy or hard drive so that you don't have to repeat everything you told it the last time it was booted.. You could even remove the hard drive and it would run. You can find the CD images (usually .ISO files) on the distribution site or their mirrors. Windows might require something like ISO-Recorder (forget the URL). It's a nifty free program that lets you double-click an .ISO file and write it to CD. You can use WinRAR to view the contents of .ISO images from Windows. You should also be able to order the CDs from websites like cheapbytes.com. I've always had good results from them. Michael
