a question about installing the live cd to hard drive

[mike coulombe]

Hi, I am going to be going back to Michigan the state I grew up in for a few days next week.
   I would like to help some people get set up with ubuntu while I am there. Chances are most of the time I will not have any sighted help. My question is, since the installer isn't working with orca yet. If I copy the content of the live CD to a blank hard drive with a fat 32 partition would the computer boot from it that way?
 I would try this before I leave California, but I don't have a extra PC to format at the moment. If anyone has tried this and found it to work let me know. At least this would get a few people going with ubuntu, and they could re install later on a linux partition if they wanted to. I think one or two of the computers may still have windows 98 in them, so in those cases I can install inside windows. But I'm sure most of them have been formatted.
Thanks for any suggestions Mike.
