How To Install Linux using a LiveCD

The screencast below will illustrates how to install Linux from a LiveCD. If you want to know how to create your own Linux LiveCD from your Windows or Linux computer, see our tutorial How To Burn A LiveCD. In producing this episode, we used the following: 
  • A Linux Mint 7 LiveCD
  • And a ThinkPad laptop pc
We chose Linux Mint because it is based on Ubuntu, which is arguably the easiest to use, and most popular Linux distribution available. It also comes pre-installed with the software utilities necessary to enjoy media-rich experience most computer users want today. The installation steps given in the screencast tutorial are similar, if not identical, for any installable Linux LiveCD. 

We walk you through the installation process, and use the LiveCD to look around the Linux Mint website, while the installation completes.
