Hi eveyone,

I'm a victim of the atrocities of 9.10 Karmic. I now want (and have, actually) to do a fresh install and I don't want to go back to karmic until it stabilizes a bit first.

The thing is that now I'm using my office computer that has XP and I wanto to download and burn the Jaunty image to a CD to do the fresh install on my laptop ( A DELL 1525 BTW). When I download from the Ubuntu webpage I download a .rar file with lots of folders and strange files. I open Infrarecorder and don't know where the heck is the Image.

I know this may sound rdicoulous. I was able to burn the image when I first installed Ubuntu 9.04 a few months ago, but know I don't know what to do. I thought it would be one ISO file, but there's a bunch of folders in the .rar file...

Could someone provide a link to a direct ISO image download or provide instructions on how to find the iso image in the .iso.rar file?

Thanks in advanced

http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/

That should have the iso you are looking for.

Edit -> This is the one you will probably want 'ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso' so just scroll down that page until you find it. If you want to download it using bittorrent then find 'ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent'.

An iso file seeming to be a rar file.

Mmmh. Could be. I'll see when I download the file that ninjapirate89 recomended. I did not see the file as .rar on Iexplorer though, but when openning the folder.

one way i know is to get winiso and compress the files into a .iso. alcohol 120% also has an option to do so.
