Hi! I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from a ISO Bootable CD
I burned using the downloaded ISO file for x86.

When I insert the disk and restart the machine I get the following
message:

Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM : 1.44MB Diskette

It just hangs there. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I tried looking all over the internet with no avail.

I'm trying to do a fresh install with 2 partitions,
however, Ubuntu will be the only OS on the machine.

Thanks!

I've figured out the problem. I burned the CD incorrectly as a bootable
CD, which I shouldn't have. Just a plan ISO Burn is all that is required.
