Further Information

As this is a LiveCD, it would not touch your hard disk. Once you come out of the LiveCD. You can resume your normal operations on your system. However, if you wish install the contents of this CD, you may click the icon "Install Ubuntu 10.10". You only have to be careful with Partitioning the disk, as it allows multi-OS boot"
