you can use disk one of the set (or the dvd itself). at the initial boot: 
prompt you type "linux rescue" and it will (eventually)  go into rescue mode. 
It will have you select your language and such then ask if you want to enable 
network devices ( i usually say no for the sake of security). After it enters 
rescue mode, type "chroot /mnt/sysimage" to make the root of your command 
line experience your Linux install on the harddrive. 

hope that helps
