Install
hi i have linux 10.1 going to install it on my comp. i have windows xp pro and when i burned the image to the disk and placed it in the dvd rom it came up with the options to install or install via floopy etc. when i click install ( just to test if it is working) nothing comes up. but the others work. do i have to boot up into the cd?

Boot with the CD in the cdrom
make sure you have enabled the option to boot from cd in BIOS\"Meditative mind\'s is like a vast ocean... whatever strikes the surface, the bottom stays calm\" - Dalai Lama

Correct.
The option on the BIOS is called "boot sequence". Set the cd rom to be your first device.
