I now have PC Linux on a live CD
Runs great, feels great.

Only problem..

I would like to install it - But heres the catch.

I don't want to install it on the same partition as my WXP install.

My harddrive, a WD 120 GB SATA is split into 2 partitions, one 80 GB and one 40 GB.

My WXP install is on the 80 GB one, and I was wondering if I could install PCLinux on the 40 GB partition and still boot from it

Sincerely

Damage

Nero followed with my pc, so yes, I have Nero. But I downloaded InfraRecorder and used that, since it's much more simple.

I know how to run LiveCD, thank you -___________-

I was merely asking how to burn it, but I succeded at doing it myself with InfraRecorder. This post is being posted on Sabayon Linux LiveCD with Konqueror.
Thanks for the help >D

All that pops up is this: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/416/unavngivet1tw8.jpg

Maybe it's because I use firefox? Keep in mind that I know nothing about this

Stupid question incoming:

I use InfraRecorder, do I need to unpack the .rar file first or can I just choose "burn image to disc"?

Downloaded Sabyon, now you guys need to guide me through the burning part and how to boot it up on a livecd and activate it's features 

I suck at those things, but if malware piss you off, just ask me XD

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo SI 1848

Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 running at 2 ghz, providing 4,94 ghz.
2 gb of random Fujitsu ram
AtI Mobility Radeon X1300 running at 256 mb hypermemory
120 gb Fujitsu Siemens HD

Is that good enough?

Also ordered the 3 ubuntu cd's, will be here in some weeks. As I may have said, I suck at hardware and OS'es(Malware is my place in the world) so you guys may need to guide me through an install.

Thanks for the info and help, will check it out

But my pc isn't an oldie, 4 months old, but isn't there a way to install Ubuntu onto an extern HD?

Links/tutorial? Otherwise I'm pretty much screwed 

So, here I am, tired of windows and need to get a new OS. Since I have only heard great things about linux, I'm willing to try it out before going bananas and smashing my pc with a sledgehammer. I'm currently running a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo SI 1848 laptop with maxed configurations, WXP SP2.

There's a number of things I'm looking for, and they include:

-Ease of use(I've been running Windows for my whole life, and while it has served me good I need something new)
-A GUI
-Must be able to run Mozilla Firefox, Java and OpenOffice
-May be a liveCD or liveDVD, since I, for one, don't care as long as it works.

To date I've tried Knoppix LiveCD and LiveDVD, both of which only gave me a commandoprompt. I have also tried Mandriva One LiveCD and that also didn't work.

I would be very grateful if anyone could guide me through the jungle of linux distros and help me
