If you download Ubuntu, you need to burn the ISO file to a cd. This howto explains howto do that in Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows XP/2K. If this looks too complicated, GettingUbuntu lists other methods.

Ubuntu

Note: When you put a blank CD in the drive, a "CD/DVD Creator" file browser will pop up automatically. Close this browser. The following instructions do not use it.

To burn an .iso image onto CD obviously you will need a working CD/DVD burner. To write the image is very simple.

  1. Find the .iso image in the file browser available at Places->Home menu on top of the screen.

  2. Right click on the .iso and select Write to Disc... (about 3/4 of the way down the menu) and follow the instructions.

Mac OS X

To burn most isos, you can use Apple's Disk Utility (Disk Copy in older versions). However, there are some CDs that will not burn with Disk Utility (warty ppc, for example). For these, you need another piece of burning software, listed below.

Using Disk Utility:

  1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility)

  2. Drag the ISO to the sidebar of the Disk Utility main window.
  3. Select the iso where you just dragged it, and choose (Menu->Image->Burn...)

  4. Insert a cdr and press "burn."

Windows XP

  1. Verify the ISO. [http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html Instructions available at OpenOffice.org]

  2. Download and install the following tool [http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/Beta.htm ISO Recorder]

  3. Allow the software to associate with ISOs
  4. Right click on the ISO and click "Copy image to CD"
  5. You may want to lower the burn speed to 8x (for a more reliable burn)

Windows 2K

[http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/Beta.htm ISO Recorder] doesn't work on windows2K and here is the alternative method

  1. Verify the ISO. [http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html Instructions available at OpenOffice.org]

  2. Download and install the following tool [http://www.cdburnerxp.se/download.php?latest CD Burner]

  3. Open File -> "Write disk from iso file" and then choose the iso

  4. You may want to lower the burn speed to 8x (for a more reliable burn)
