This animated tour of the Linspire OS runs
after your initial installation. The Assistant walks you through using Click-N-Run, configuring your
desktop, and a lot more.
You can check out the online version of the Audio Assistant at http://media
.linspire.com/howto/kiosk.swf.
Should you install Linspire and bypass the Audio Assistant tutorial, have no fear. You can re-launch
the tutorials by clicking the life jacket icon in the lower-left corner of your desktop (in the toolbar).

Running Linspire and Freespire 15
Installing Linspire or Freespire
If you plan ahead, a Linspire or Freespire installation is one of the most straightforward operating
system software installations. This includes Apple and Microsoft as well as other Linux distributions.
Because of its experimental nature, Freespire installation may be a little rough around the edges at
times, but it is still easy for even non-gurus to perform. In the following section, I guide you through
the installation of Freespire 2.0, which is included on the DVD, but the same instructions apply to
Linspire 6.0.
There are very few configuration options and no disk partitioning options other than either selecting
an installation partition or wiping the entire hard disk. For maximum joy, make sure you have no
data on the computer/partition/drive where Freespire will be installed.
