<font size="-1">
<p><b>CD burning</b>
<br>The livedvd system is distributed as a standard ISO 9660 image file.
So you have to burn it as an ISO image file, the option is available in most CD
burning programs.
openmamba livedvd fits in a DVD+/-R or DVD+/-RW empty support.
<br><br>
<p><b>livedvd startup</b>
<br>Insert the CD in the player and restart the computer. On most computers the system
should start up automatically but sometimes you have to tell the BIOS to boot from CD.
Please see your computer guide or read the startup messages on video for more
information on how to boot from CD.
<p>After a 1-3 minutes wait for system startup (times depend on computer hardware features)
openmamba graphical interface will be available and ready to use in a KDE environment
with superuser (root) user permissions.
