Installing Linux

[Jackboy]

I have downloaded mandriva-linux-one-2008-spring-KDE-int-cdrom-i586.iso

And i aint got a blumming clue how to install it.

I wish to use it alongside windows but all i have is the zip file on my pc.

I am also trying to install mandriva 2007 off a disc i got from PC Specialist, but i really am clueless with this,

I really wish to install the first one, any ideaS?

EDIT: SORRY I DIDN'T SEE LINUX AREA :(

burn the ISO to disk using NERO or Alcohol or something, then boot it, but im not sure if Mandriva is capable of shrinking your Windows partition during install.

It will take about 3 months to get to you.

[Jackboy]

its easy :S

But theres no file on it that will run it automatically.

The files that are in it are 2 folders, one of them is /boot.


Will that work?

you download the iso.

get DVD decrypter, set it to write iso and then select the file you downloaded. If it's not a .iso then download the .iso.

then it should be a bootable CD.
