Hi All,
I like to run and learn linux in my system.I have the ISO image of fedora 7 in my system(seperate partition).I installed virtualbox and selected the ISO to run the OS.When it loads I dont know what i should select.There are 3 options listed
1.Install as new
2.Upgrade existing
3.Run from local disk.

what each options do exactly(whether they install linux as second OS in the partition?)

I want to use like Live CD(I know we can run directly from dvd ,but I chose this option because I can work in XP simultaneously while linux is running in a virtual OS)

I searched in net but could not find any soln...

^^ You dont have the LiveCD version of Fedora. The one you have is the install version. Download the LiveCD version from frdoraproject.org OR you could order Ubuntu Live CDs from shipit.ubuntu.com for FREE!
