Hi Shiv,

April's Digit magazine has a few linux versions incl Ubuntu and Damn Small Linux. Now I would like to run these from the CD/DVD itself like a Live CD.
Never used the ones coming in magazines. What formats are they in? Probably burn it as a "bootable iso image" and use them as a LiveCD.
Is this possible? Or will it damage my machine which runs on Windows XP?
A LiveCD is something that runs on the system RAM, and doesn't touch your hard disk. Your windoze is sitting in your hard disk.
You could mount the hard disk if you want to. Some LiveCDs automatically detect the hard disks and mount it for you, usually read-only.
