I have so far been using Xandros to demonstrate Linux to 'Windowed' people. But now I found that Xandros is better and faster. I could not find any util to install the Live CD (Digit April DVD) onto the HDD. Though some body in the forum (Will have to check who and where) suggested that it can be installed but on a Clean (virgin) partition. How??

What exactly do u want to install Xandros or Linspire--
I donot know so much abt xandros but Linspire give in April can not be installed since its a Live only version -- More or less a demo U HAVE TO BUY AN INSTALLABLE VERSION -- Although I have heard that there is a possibilty that the live Cd can be converted to Installable version but I do not know for sure

Even if you find a way to do it, think if its worth it!! :( This distro of Linspire is not too good :roll: There are various better options available.
