The Mingle LiveCD is a modified Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD. If you want to install the LiveCD to a HDD, then you should ensure that you have backed up the contents of your HDD before installation. The install process will by default wipe the contents of the HDD and replace them with the installed files (you can override this during the install process). Alternately you can choose to create a separate partition and install the LiveCD into the new partition.
