Depends on the version of your macbook as to what to do.. look in the about this mac section in osx

After that these pages should get you going:

Hope that helps

ok well you probably won't get wifi working unless you install since it requires you to install / edit some stuff on the system. That doesn't stick too well on a CD.

you should checkout the guide that issih posted though.
