No CD install.
After much trial and error and even more frustration and with the help of several sources I've devised an install from an existing windows hard drive.

The process isn't too hard.  First download the iso image to your main drive, c: in most cases.  Then follow the directions on this site: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/ins...-from.html downloading this grub installer http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefo...-0.4.1.zip.

With windows my favorite zip/archive tool is 7zip. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.  Extract the vmlinuz and initrd.gz flies as per directions and with much thanks to member Mantelo extract the livecd.sqfs file to the C: drive. 

Now, if you extracted the files, created a boot folder on the c: drive and edited the menufirst file in the downloaded grub files you will be able to run TinyMe live from your windows partition and install it easily without a cd drive!
