Yes there are stripped down versions, however it does take a bit of know how to get the install set up.
Let's see what can be done to get 'buntu installed.
1. Did you verify the download integrity of the .iso images ?

2. Is the disk burned as an "image" ?

3. There will be no install action taken until you select "install"
4. Have you set in bios to boot the DVD drive as 1st boot priority ?
We must conclude that the liveDVD is not booting.
When you boot the installDVD, as soon as the bios screen clears depress and hold the shift key -> language screen; escape key to accept the default -> Boot options menu screen .
Can you boot to this point ?
