I installed it by putting the CD in, booting to it, and following the
dialogs. I was cautious not to trash any partitions with data on them
(luckily there was already a free one ready to use, albeit with the
MSDOS filesystem on it). I had to go through it a couple of times to
fix mistakes I had made when I realized them, but that was no big deal.
My installation took... uhm... around 600MB (but you can cut it down).
How much do you have free?
