Booting up Live CD

Im dual booting Windows with Mandrake Linux using GRUB,

Before I do this, I just want to know how I could start the FreesBIE Live CD since now everytime I bootup it ask me what OS to boot from. Will this be a problem when putting in the Live CD?

Shouldn't have any problem with booting live cds. They have no effect on your partitions, files etc.

Should be no problem as your system will boot from the Live CD when you want to use the Live CD. Unless there is a new meaning of Live CD ...

So when should I pop-in the Cd?

As when I first turn on the PC? Or, when I see the "Which OS to boot" prompt?

Put the cd in the tray before you start the machine. The cd will boot itself

Ok I got it.

So it wont harm the Windows/Mandrake bootup process? Right?

Yeah no problem. The only thing removed will be any crappy software (i/e Windoze)
it finds on the system, thereby doing you a huge favor.

(just kidding it won't affect anything on your system)
