Download them?

Anyway I really don't see the point in this line.  The LiveCD is *different* than the Install DVD.

If you boot the LiveCD, then hit esc to get to the boot prompt you can type "linux0 text" and all that will do is boot the LiveCD image since that is the way the CD is designed.

There isn't an option to do an Install from the LiveCD in the same manner as from the DVD.  I suppose I could see how you may get that impression from the documentation link you've provided.  Feel free to propose a correction to the documentation.
