with a sound card, adjustments to your audio preferences, routing your "ins"and pressing the record button.
maybe a quick read of the manual

nah tis easy man. if you're using 6, its probably quicker to get audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows (for recording and exporting your sounds), mic up your guitar amp, send the mic through a mixer, then the mixer out into the line in on your soundcard...or use a jack to mini jack out of your amp straight into your soundcard, but i'm presuming you got a mic if you're recording vocals.
then select line in as your recording source on audacity and hit record.
if you're not getting any sound in, double click on the volume control in windows and make sure line in is not muted, and the volume is up.
once you've recorded your shit in, export as .wav, get it in your tune.
most important thing when recording live instruments and sampling them is to make sure that you edit out any unwanted sounds (or silence) in the wave editor (audacity), before you export the .wav, this will save you lots of time in fl when you're messing about with your sounds. hope this helps man! peace

oh right i thought that you saying you knew nothing about recording live instruments meant you knew nothing about recording live instruments.
fuck knows how to do it in 6. get 7 or, as r33lc4sh put it, rtfm.
you'll get better results recording into audacity anyway! there isnt always a short cut when you're making tunes
