After downloading the ubuntu, did you make the cd using the burn image button in nero which comes under copy/backup menu. may be you have just done that...
I downloaded Ubuntu Live 5.10 and I put it on a CD. I put in in a computer and it booted as normal. The computer has it set to boot from the CD Drive. The site said somethign like I had to "burn the image". What does this mean? When i put it on a CD, am I supposed to check "burn image"? I believe that jsut saved it as a nother file, but I am not sure. I use Nero Burning Rom to burn my CDs.
