I am new and don't even know how to post anything yet. I need some help with respect to installing ubuntu. I downloaded the file for my computer (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition) and copied the iso file to a new cd using "Roxio" "Disk Copier" program. What I generated was a "Bin" file(BOOTCAT.BIN) and another "iso" file(ubuntu-8.04.1-desttop-i386.iso) on the CD-R.
After this I attempted to boot from the CD which failed to produce anything. I have never worked with "iso" files before and know very little about them. I am not sure how to use the files that I created on the CD. I am also not sure if I processed the "iso" file correctly. I checked the internet to find out how to use "iso" files and had very little luck.
Initially, my short term objective is to run Linux from a CD. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
