    A much safer way to do it is to D/L Hardy which is 15 days Beta. I 
did it last night and I got the Server type which is a good 700 MB. I 
was happy when I right clicked the file on the desktop it has a choice 
to make a CD. I used that and it was easy to make the Live CD. I have 
lots of space on my HD's so will make a fresh install of Hardy. I will 
hate it because it has Pulse Audio :-)
