<pre wrap="">I have very basic question:
I have downloaded CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD from CentOS website. Now I need to
install it on my Acer Laptop permanently not as a liveCD. How do I burn it
to a DVD to be able to install it by simply restarting my laptop?

I suggest you go ahead and burn the LiveCD image you downloaded to a
CD and see if this OS will run, properly, on your HW, before you
install it. If so, then download the CD's or DVD for a regular
install. Hang onto the LiveCD, in case you need to test on other HW,
in case you have a problem and need to rescue, or if go out of town
and want to run on someone elses HW without leaving tracks.

<small>May also want to consider using the "netinstall" images if you
have a constant</small> <small>network <br>
connection during install. Saves downloading a whole DVD or a bunch of
CD's ;-)</small><br>
<br>
<small>Although do try the LiveCD as stated above.</small><br>
