Should I now download a copy of Linux to an external hard drive and open QGIS from there? The external has 1 terra byte storage with 500 gigabytes unused space. I tryed to run the down load from the shortcuts placed on my startup screen but, alas, no luck.

Hi John,
The idea with OSGeo Live DVD is to reboot your computer and tell it to boot from the DVD instead of from your hard drive.
The DVD actually includes a version of linux that will run from memory, without writing anything to your hard drive.
It's cool stuff :)
