Please don't post HTML based emails to the list, I for one hate having
to change my zoom level on emails to read the text :p

When you put the CD/DVD in to the drive, and you are presented with the
boot prompt, you want to type "linux askmethod". This will ask you which
method you want to use.

You need to find a local mirror, so that your install isn't too slow.
