Hi guys, I have downloaded the ubuntu 9.04 source code from here - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/j...9.04-src-1.iso (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/release/source/ubuntu-9.04-src-1.iso) and I want to compile it for my machine (I have already an installation of ubuntu 9.04). Would anybody help me do that ?

Ubuntu is not a program, it is a collection of packages. Thad CD you downloaded contains source packages. You can build them using e.g. pbuilder (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto).

So you are saying I can compile the .iso file with pbuilder ?
