Instead of booting the Freespire CD directly from the DVD that comes with this book, you need to burn the ISO image included on that DVD to a separate CD. Here's how to do that:
1. Insert the DVD that comes with this book into your computer's DVD drive.
2. From the Freespire folder on the DVD, copy the freespire_2.0.3.iso to your computer's hard disk.
3. Eject the DVD and insert a blank CD into the DVD drive (which presumably can be used to burn CDs).

At this point, refer to the "Creating Linux CDs" section later in this appendix for information on burning the CD image to a physical CD.
