Just turn on the computer with the CD already in the CDROM. It should
boot off of the CD and start it's own installation wizard.

From there you can follow the instruction on how to complete the OS
installation. I have never seen or used a Tiny computer myself, but
generally that is how System Restore Disks work.

Also, if your not comfortable with the above, you can contact TINY for
help @ 0906 558 0232. I found this number on their support pag -
http://www.tiny.com/support.php . They also have online support @
http://www.tiny.com/support.php

I hope this helps.

Craig (and Chris)

You need to understand that the tiny.com company is very different to the
Tiny Computers company (which I suspect is the original source of the
computer that Chris is talking about)

Tiny Computers went into liquidation a few years back - leaving a large
number of very irate customers with no support line.
The business was bought by Time Computers - but not the support liabilities
(so the customers were still in the lurch)

tiny.com is the phoenix that Time has resurrected from the ashes of Tiny
Computers - and has almost no connection with them whatever (except the
name, and ownership - the management capabilities have yet to be proved, but
the signs are, so far, encouraging - although I'm not a great fan of Time)

I've never used a Tiny or tiny.com computer either, but from what I've
heard, Craig's advice may be good - or may not (and either way, from where
you want to start, it's unlikely to leave you worse off!)

If you would like to take this further - email me (my addy is valid), and we
can discuss either by email or phone (I'm in North Wales).

HTH
