having trouble with crunchbang...

Ok so I downloaded the live cd, and I can't really do anything, I can't mount / install anything to a local hard drive, I can't even boot up the cd in regular like "enter" mode, I have to use the vesa step the second one, Is there a way I can install this onto my computer without having it run from the CD all the time.  The only tutorials I have seen for this are using a pen drive or something,  I would like to be able to burn cd and stuff while I am using crunchbang it just doesn't make much sense to me.  IF someone could help me out that would be awesome.  thanks in advance.

After you have booted into the live CD there is an Install option that is in the main menu (right click on the desktop or Super Key-Space). From there you should be able to just follow the graphical installers prompts.

haha i realized that after I posted this my bad everyone.  Oh and as for drivers for a sony vaio vgn-fw235j is there any like driver package I could download to get this thing up and running to peak performance? 

p.s. i tried that install option last night and for some reason it didn't work to work correctly.  I somehow got it to work today.

If anything goes wrong use ESC at startup and enter recovery mode, my install went pear shaped last night after it installed the flgrx drivers for my ATI graphics card, suddenly found it didnt want to boot into the graphical enviroment, just froze with a black screen, but using recovery concole and Xfix that was soon fixed and back to normal, something I was unable to do on another linux distribution once which drove me nuts!:D
