There should be an "images" directory on the CD. Go there,
and either using dd (linux) or rawrite (win/dos) make a
linux boot disk from the "boot.img" file you find there and
once you boot from that disk, just hit "enter" when the
black screen with nice multi-color lettering comes up and
then tell it you want to install from a CDROM.
