Well basically if you have the CDs then you can boot from them. Set the option in your BIOS to boot from the CD drive first. Then restart your computer and the installation should start. You will need to partition your hard drive as well, so Windows (assuming that's what you're using) and Linux can be on the same hard drive. I don't know if the installation will do this for you.

You don't necessarily want to make a Linux partition visible in Windows unless you install one of the Services for Unix packages; chances are you may screw it up accidently thru Windows.

1. What are your C and D drives formatted as? (NTFS, FAT32, etc.)
2. Are you using a modem, a wireless card, or a modem to connect to the interne

for the internet, try running internet-druid from console (or it's under the system settings somewhere in Gnome)

From a command prompt type.... dmesg | less

That's the pipe symbol that you get from pressing shift-\

Then read through that and see if there are any lines indicating that your USB controller was recognized and installed.
