make the cd rom 1st boot from the bios.  most pcs it is either escape or delete while booting but all computers are different you u may wanna ask google.

:rofl: @ baught AND Windows 98

Press whatever button gets you into the BIOS (basic input output system), usually tellls you during the POST (power on self test).  Then navigate to the boot device priority and change #1 to CD-ROM.


Then buy a newer computer.

the BIOS tells you that.

when you first turn it on it will say something like "Push F8 for Setup"

I think you're going to need more help than the Shroomery can provide. I recommend a course in high school grammar to start with.

You might get there.

Yes, you need the tux versions. Find out how you run (and if necessary compile) them. Lot's of stuff about this on ol' :google:.

usually you wont be downloading software from websites.

if you go to Applications then Software Center youll see a big list of software. its like a big software catalog.

that is where you will be doing 99% of all your software installs. NOT from downloading a file from a website.
