Linux Live CDs

Posts Tagged ‘FIRST’

ok, i currently only have winxp installed on my pc, but am using pclinuxos live cd, i have 2 questions first of all is there a better distro than this 1, and is there anyway to play media from the internet that is wmv format?

I’m using Windows XP, and have decided to try out Ubuntu Linux. I plan to try the Live CD first, and later maybe install it.
I have a few questions:

1. I read somewhere that the ‘Live CD’ will not require any installation . Will this Live CD allow me to use Linux the same way as if it was installed in the computer?
2. I don’t know a lot about computers, can I still use Linux?
3. Any steps/precautions I should take before installing ubuntu (besides backing up necessary files)?
4. Any step by step guides on installing/uninstalling ubuntu (in case I get into trouble) ?

I have this cd and i want to run the live version of it and it just won’t work it first of all says that I don’t have the correct software–pick from a list or go on the net to find out what software is needed so i pressed net and it wouldn’t open. Then also the live thing is a zipped file I don’t know what I’m supposed to do I open it with winzip and it brings up a window to extract it but it’s not like the normal windows I tried to extract it on my flashdrive which is 512 and it says insert disk 2 so i stopped it so I don’t know what to do does anyone have any suggestions?

THIS IS MY FIRST VIDEO!!! I hope yall like it What it is is a Live CD meaning that it doesn’t do anything to your hard drive and it just boots up using the CD This Linux is called Sabayon and it is the coolest version i think if anybody wants me to make a tutarial i will if somebody asks
