Hello,
I've just downloaded Linux openSUSE Live CD. I boot my pc and insert the CD and when the menu comes out, I cant seems to find a way to install the distro.
My plan was to dual boot WinXP and Linux. I have 4 partitions, 3 are NTFS and 1 is for the Linux. Do i have to configure the partition?

Linux will require an ext2 or ext3 partition.
Booting the CD should give you access to some tools to prepare the HD.
a) make sure you have unique LABELs on the 3 NTFS partitions for easy identification
b) attack the 4th
you make need to create a /swap partition (carve it out of the 4th) and make it
2x your real RAM or about 2gb
