Ubuntu ISO latest version

Can you suggest what is the best ISO writer you could recommend to use?

Infrarecorder is easy to use. I didn't have any issues with it.

Jim

have the link where UI could download it?

When I could figure out how to, I will.

I'm a newbie to computers still learning all the neat tricks.

Regards

Jim

If you haven't burned the image (.iso file) yet, try using ImgBurn. It's a free program, and it is a very good and useful burning program. If you are using a windows machine, it installs easy as pie. If you are using a linux machine to burn the image, it will run under WINE.

Once you install it, start it up and you'll be taken to a menu. Click on "Write Image file to Disc." Then click on the folder icon next to where it says "please select file."

Insert the cd/dvd to write onto into the drive, and the icon of an image and a green arrow pointing to a disc should be lit now. Just click it to burn.

You can find the program here
ImgBurn

Just to add that wubi http://wubi-installer.org/ can install Ubuntu through windows it dos all the tricky bits for you. I have used it several times before and have had no problems.

The official release on Ubuntu already includes Wubi.

I noticed that it is in the .iso, but I prefer to download from the internet as that file will be updated first.

Don't know about the core 2 duo processors???

I'm replying to your post with a Pentium dual-core E2180 processor using Ubuntu 8.04 OS.

I see so do you think I should get the latest version of the OS since I have with me the ver 7.0. I am having hard time downloading the latest version of the UBUNTU right now.

Have you tried the various mirrors? Also what error messages do you get?

Well the mirror sites are either too slow to download and some do complete but I haven't had one good download most have corrupt files and everything.

If the ISO is corrupted it should not be a surprise that it does not work. Are you on broadband or perhaps dialup?

Down Hashtab or similar.

Now compare the MD5 checksum of your ISO with the published checksums. If it does not match, do not burn it to CD/DVD.
