Help for a Noob

Hello, This is my first post here.

I've just been asked to master a live recording for a hardcore/punk band (vinyl 7" and CD release.) Problem is this is my FIRST attempt at mastering anything. I am on a Pro-tools LE set up and the Wav. file is just a stereo track thats about 13 minutes long.

Mastering Question

I am beginning to approach mastering my recordings, and am not quite sure where to begin. I know this involves equalization, spacing and so on, as well as removing hiss, etc, but I am sure that there are those out there who have actually mastered their digital tracks, and thus have more experience than I.
