Linux time-shift installing from the Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD !!

Linux installing time-shift 4000x !!!!!! All the Eye Candy included !! Believe me, tis IS legacy hardware !!! It is a 3Ghz Pentium 4 !!

Does it affect hardware if two Os are installed on a 3-4 yrs old desktop?

I want to install linux on my desktop. I have xp installed at present. If it can affect hardware, can I use the live cd of linux without risking the hardware?

Ubuntu live CD download?

Ok, I’ve got a spare 80gb drive, blank, and I want to run Ubuntu Linux on it. my problem being that, while I’ve downloaded 6 different ISOs, both desktop and server, none of them were actual live CDs. they were all “try it without altering your system!” garbage… so yeah, they all need the NTLDR in order to even think about doing anything. does anybody have a link to where I can download an Ubuntu live CD (9.10 plz) ISO? torrents, regular downloads, whatever. I don’t need the graphics interface, I just want the OS running on my PC, but it must be able to install on a BLANK hard drive. all my drives running windows are busy, and can’t be reallocated

Also, Is it possible to access my wpa encrypted network from knoppix? Thanks.

Ubuntu Dual-Boot Windows 7?

Ok so i just got my Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop LTS in the mail. i am using the live cd so it is basically a dual boot. but when i get into ubuntu, it says for my ethernet and wireless that it is disconnected. One time when it booted, it said for the wireless that the device was not ready. i have read around and apparently windows is screwing with my Linux. Is there a way around this crap without uninstalling windows? P.S. I have used ndisgtk.
