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.
