    Yes, DSL is a livecd, so the computer will be usable by booting from the cd.

    I'm guessing that you might have improperly burned the file to the disk.

    You have to burn the .ISO file to the blank CD as an image. If you merely copy it to the CD, it won't work.

    Here's a HowTo you can follow to make sure you burn the image correctly:
