The installation media you are using was created on a working computer. Use that one to read documentation or print manuals. If you got the disc from a magazine, then read the article in the magazine the CD came with. If it was handed to you by a friend, then that friend is your resource. If you found the disc in the trash and have absolutely *no idea* what you're doing, then I guess installing an operating system isn't for you. The "bare metal computer on a desert island with nothing but a CD" situation you're imagining simply doesn't happen.
