when you boot the liveCD it starts windows??

check the MD5sum of the ISO you burned. Also, make sure you finilize the CD

If you mean you got the package CD, it's not bootable. It just contains precompiled packages.

Get a LiveCD If it's an Athlon 64, get an AMD64 livecd. If it's just a normal, get a x86 LiveCD.

you need to boot from the live cd. then unmount the cdrom like this:

umount /mnt/cdrom

i'm not sure if the live cd will allow you this. if it does replace the cd with the amd packages one and remount the drive with:

mount /mnt/cdrom

if it doesn't let you unmount you need to copy the packages of the amd cd to a partition on your harddrive and mount that one.
