How do you install Kubuntu on your computer from a CD?

Installing Kubuntu from a Kubuntu LiveCD is a fairly straightforward process. To install Kubuntu, first boot from the CD. Your computer's BIOS may attempt this before booting from the hard disk drive, or prompt you to boot from CD. If not, access the boot menu by pressing Delete or F12 or whichever key your computer says, systems differ. Next, when the computer boots from the disc, you will be prompted to select a language within a time period, usually 30 seconds. The default selection is English. Then you will see the CD menu. You may boot Kubuntu by selecting "Try Kubuntu without making changes to your computer" or install immediately by selecting "Install Kubuntu". If you choose to try Kubuntu, you can select the Install icon on the desktop. Kubuntu will then run the install wizard. Follow the instructions to install Kubuntu. You will need to select your language, keyboard layout, and choose a location (for time zone). Your exact location may not be an option on the map, select the nearest city or one in your time zone. Before the install wizard makes any changes, it will ask you which disk to install to, and whether to use the entire disk or use a smaller partition. If you don't want to permanently delete your existing data and operating system, let the installer resize your existing partitions and make a new ext3 or ext4 Linux space. After this, the installer will make its changes and create the files. This will take about 10-30 minutes, depending on your hardware. Once the install is complete, your computer will be restarted. Boot into Kubuntu and set up your internet connection, download any drivers needed (such as nVidia or ATI video card binary drivers), and software updates (using your package manager, either Adept or KPackagekit). One other note, if you have a new computer and intend to have Kubuntu AND another operating system (such as Windows) installed, install the non-Linux operating system first, as it may not allow you to set up partitions on your hard drive(s).
