I have very basic question: I have downloaded *CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD* from CentOS website. Now I need to install it on my Acer Laptop permanently not as a liveCD. How do I burn it to a DVD to be able to install it by simply restarting my laptop? Thank you, Sam -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If so, then download the CD's or DVD for a regular install. Hang onto the LiveCD, in case you need to test on other HW, in case you have a problem and need to rescue, or if go out of town and want to run on someone elses HW without leaving tracks.
