Hi Hugh,<br><br>Well, the live CD is a linux distribution. So when you use it, you will be a linux user.<br><br>You have to boot off of the CD. Your computer, if it isn't setup that way already, will have to have the CD/DVD drive set in the BIOS to be listed as a boot device ahead of the hard drive. Then when you boot off of the CD, your PC operating system or files will not be used.<br>

First of all, I'm new at this...<br>
Is this info meant for Linux users only?<br>
I can't seem to get anything to happen after making the CD.<br>
I have a UV5R and need to program it.<br>
Maybe I'm in the wrong pew??<br>
Merry Christmas,<br>
