You'll be able to put them onto recordable media, or something else capable of booting them. Chris has done an extremely good job at creating these CD images and I've helped out with testing a bit. A tip though if you are unsure of how the Arch installer works however, may be to try something like this. If you have a Windows machine, you may be able to run a virtual machine on your computer. I will not discuss that process on this list-but am suggesting it as a perfect testbed for any Linux related activity that you may wish to try, especially if you do not have an available machine that is dedicated exclusively to Linux. That brings up a good question-why is it, that so many Linux documents generally recommend having an exclusive machine dedicated to Linux itself only, rather than the dual-boot and other similar setups? I've been trying to figure that out for a while. Keep up the work on the Speakup project everyone! Sincerely, --Keith
