is there a way that i can install it without having to burn the image to a cd?

AFIAK I know, No there isnt, youy have to burn it to CD before you can install it.

if you have a spare drive which you can boot from (like a second hard drive), extract the iso data on that drive and then boot from there (bios settings...)

Hmm... without burning it to a CD?

I don't see how that would be feasable. The only thing you can install without having to burn to a CD would be software or games, because you are using an image mounter (ex: Daemon Tools) to load the image as a virtual drive.

In this case, when you install an OS, you are not in any sort of environment that can load a program and tell the OS to open the CD since you are in the BIOS and all most of the time during installs of OSes.

On the other hand, I can't help but ignore the fact that what you said does ring a bell somewhere in my head lol. I don't remember for what, but it reminds me of someone who asked a question similar to yours, I think hehe.

I hope I was a bit of help to you. Is there anyone else who would know a solution to this?

can i burn mutiple version of linux and choose which to install?

i downloaded these:

Damn Small Linux
Ubuntu

EDIT: how can i burn multiple images to a dvd?

in alcohol 120% i can only burn 1 image per cd/dvd

I don't think there is a way to be able to install both without using a virtual machine or multiple hard-drives.

As for the whole burning to disk thing...

go to the ubuntu website, and order some... I have like 200 lying around the house in a box, it's free.
