What computer do you have? Only "New World" Macs (roughly, iMacs and 
later that have built-in USB) can boot from the CD-ROM. Otherwise, if 
you have an "Old World" Mac, you will have to follow the instructions 
from the installation guide (well, actually, you would have to follow 
instructions from the guide even if you were booting a New World Mac):

Good luck!
