I guess it depends on what you ordered and where you ordered them from. The
OP didn't say. :-)

Cheers.

Yes, you certainly can. Simply place the LiveCD in the CD-ROM drive and
reboot your computer. Make sure that your BIOS is set to boot from the
CDROM drive first. Depending on your system, boot up time may take a while.
After it is loaded, simply use it as if you had it installed onto the hard
drive. The loading of individual apps won't be very fast because they will
have to be loaded from CD. Again, depending on your particular system, you
should also be able to surf the world wide web wirelessly. Anyway, take
care and let us know how it went.

Yes, and, if you have no prior experience of a live cd, you should know
you can go online with a browser, play games, etc. Of course, there is
no place to save your results, so no settings will be retained.

Hmm, name calling, and I'm the "ignorant little prick" huh. I was just being
sarcastic, unlike you who are being "ignorant"
Guess sarcasim doesn't go over well in here.

For example, cheapbytes. If you know everything, why ask?

Please do not top-post. Your answer belongs after (or intermixed
