I burned the 10.10 i386 .iso onto dvd.
My Old toshiba laptop doesn' t boot from the dvd. I tried full dvd and cd burns. So I tried to go with the intall into windows and that consistently quit with an error.

I am attaching the log (zipped, with my name munged) it created during the install.
This was just a test to see if Ubuntu could revive this old laptop.
Hopefully this will get to the makers of Ubuntu
FYI: the install was tried after the following
1. Cleared unneeded files
2. Cleared Browser Caches and ran System disk Cleaner
3. Scanned and Cleaned by both Malwarebytes and Vipre Virus packages
4. Complete Defrag of the Hard Drive.
