Well, the most obvious question is this, do you have a CD or DVD drive in your computer?

I'll assume that you do and just need to know how to download the files and put them on your own CD/DVD.

If you have a DVD burner, this is the best option but if not, you'll have to download several (about 6) ISO files. An ISO is an image of a CD which with your CD burning software you can use to create your own Linux Installation CD's.

The real trick these days is finding CD ISO's since most of the mirrors only offer the DVD ISO! So you may have to settle for an older version of the distribution that you want or spend a lot of time looking for a mirror with both formats.

So you download each of the ISO files to your hard drive. Once they are all downloaded, you need to open your CD burning software and choose the option to burn a CD from an image or saved project and go find the ISO's.

You'll need to do this for each ISO file.

If you don't know how to use your CD burning software, you'll need to inquire in the proper forums for that info.

Hope this helps,

vujsa

hmm.. Is it possible to use an USB(mp3-player, but I use it as an USB) instead of a CD? would it work ?
(Put all the files in the mp3-player, and then boot with it.)

Yes! but you have to do some special things to the USB key like set a proper partition type so the BIOS understands that it's bootable. The documentation over at damn small linux's site walks you through all of it.

   operating systems, and transferring some or all of them onto a single computer platform. First, it
   saves energy. Second, once the conversion has been made from real hardware to a virtual "guest,"
   the driver problems associated with moving from one hardware platform to another are sol....

    Virtualization is the technique of running a "guest" operating system inside an already-running OS;
    for example, Windows inside Linux, or vice-versa. This article compares four virtualization products
    available for Ubuntu Linux: the free, open source Qemu; the closed-but-free versions of VirtualBox
    and VMware-Server, and the commercial Parallels.
