Running from CD and Not installing

[Samuel Thurston, III]

you can run the desktop cd as a live cd.  you are not obligated to
install.  you have the full set of default programs available as a
live cd, however you will not be able to install new programs or do
updates, and you can only save your documents to a pen drive.
