So those n00bs like Uncle Din who want to run and see the live CD / live USB Google Android on a PC /Laptop and see what it is, how it works etc, it is pretty easy now.

Want to give Google Android a try, but don't feel like buying a T-Mobile G1? LiveAndroid lets you download a LiveCD disc image of the Google Android operating system. Just burn the image to a disc, stick it in a CD-ROM drive, and reboot your computer and you can check out Android without installing it or affecting any files on your PC.

You can also use the disc image in a virtualization application like VirtualBox, VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC if you want to try the operating system without even rebooting your computer.

Go to -

*code.google.com/p/live-android/

or directly to

*code.google.com/p/live-android/wiki/readme

To get the iso file

Just burn that to a CD (burning ISO files in the proper way ) and thats it.

I just tested and it is working fine on Thinkpad R50e. Really nice.

But which file to download? There are a lot of files like /liveandroidv0.2usb.iso.002;/liveandroidv0.2usb.iso.001 etc?

Look at summary. Description of each file is given thr.

If u want andriod live usb image then dwnld 1st and 2nd file(Splitted into two parts with HJSplit)

If u want to dwnld the ISO through torrent dwnld the 4th file

9th and 10th file r CD ISO(splitted into two parts with HJSplit)

13th, 14th and 15th file r the same splitted into 3parts using WinRAR (like incase of rapidshare)

Go to the second link, if you prefer to get the ISO as a single file. I mean

*code.google.com/p/live-android/wiki/readme

Scroll down where it says

you also can download ISO image directly from mirror,

liveandroid v0.2 liveCD mirror:

Below there are direct link to the full ISO file.

Or use the split files listed in the first link.
