Question Solved: Using a Linux "live CD"
How do I have my computer access a Linux "live CD?" Do I have to change the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM? Do I just go to "my comuter" [I am using Ws XP Pro] and dbl click the CD-ROM?
Obviously, I am just starting out with Linux!!
Thanks, {redoak}

Reboot. Go to your bios and set it to boot from the CDROM first.
Reboot again and it should boot from the CD.

Hi: I posted a "thank you" a couple days ago that apparently did not make it thru to the Thread. Again, thanks for the info. {redoak}
