The installation media you are using was created on a working
computer. Use that one to read documentation or print manuals. If
you got the disc from a magazine, then read the article in the
magazine the CD came with. If it was handed to you by a friend, then
that friend is your resource. If you found the disc in the trash and
have absolutely *no idea* what you're doing, then I guess installing
an operating system isn't for you. The "bare metal computer on a
desert island with nothing but a CD" situation you're imagining simply
doesn't happen. Camaleón is exactly right.
