My computer doesnt have enough memory to run the live CD, is there anyway to just install it to the hard drive without previewing the linux via the live cd… i cannot download the alternate cd, it took way too long just to download the desktop cd…. could i perhaps use a usb pen drive to boost the system’s memory or something?

OK, so someone I know has a copy (literally, a copy) of windows XP and now it says that it’s not validated and wont boot into windows. Now, I’m going to install Linux on it (xubuntu) but I want to back everything up first. How can I do this? I’m messing with puppy linux on a live CD but would like to know if there is a better way.
Thanks in advance,
Well, there is another computer that can be used and I will be using my iPod as an external hard drive to back up the files.
The computer wont do anything so… I need a live cd to do anythign with it

im switching between my xubuntu live cd to a Puppy Linux running from a USB FD, i downloaded Wakepup which allows your old pc to boot from your USB device but its a windows Installer, its design for windows and i dont have access to it right now. So how can i create the Boot up floppy under Linux?

When I try run linux live cd’s (Ubuntu and Xubuntu) my computer tells me it cannot find bin/sh, I used Infra recorder, also before the burning process begins it tells me that I have a DVD RW drive (which I do) and asks me if I want to write to DVD media, I reply no because I am burning to cd’s.
What is wrong and what should I do ?.
