Frank, Take a look in the K menu. Under one of the lowest menus (options...tools...utilities...something like that) there should be one that says "Install" with a blue icon. That one will install for you. Otherwise, you can download and burn the "alternative" iso. This boots to a splash screen where you can install by text (same dialogue menus, you just don't have to boot into KDE, using RAM you could be using for the install process). I once found that I had a cdrom drive that couldn't work well enough to install using the live/install disk,  but the alternate worked just fine.
