Not really. You can brick your prior OS (and only the OS) if you don't pay attention durring the install process but bricking durring live-cd use isn't going to happen. I've read about more cases of a windows update bricking a computer than a live-cd.
I like Mixplates idea of burning a few before even installing, but Mint is your target. I'm not even a Mint fanboy, I run Arch, but mint is the defacto answer for new users.
