it is very important that you understand that the current release of Klikit-Linux is a RELEASE CANDIDATE version, which means that it is still not completely stable, it may be somewhat buggy, and it still requires some testing. Before using this version as your main O.S. make sure you backup any important data. The team behind the development of Klikit-Linux will not be responsible in any way. Once you download the .iso you will have to use a burning program such as k3b, Brasero or Nero. If you are using MS WIndows, some of our users have reported that imgburn does an excellent job. Do NOT burn the .iso as data, you have to burn it as a CD/DVD image (.iso). For furter intructions and help please visit the Klikit-Linux forums USING THE LIVECD/DVD:
