<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used the Nero Express wizard(v6.0) - the last
option was something like "Create CD from iso or file" - I chose that and burned
the .iso file to CD. It booted perfectly from CDRom, so I'm guessing the
boot capability was part of the image itself.</FONT></DIV>

some encouragement off-list, I decided to go ahead and try the<BR>Unbuntu
5.10 install. I downloaded the .iso and burned it to CD using
my<BR>Win2k/Nero software. No problems there.<BR><BR>Install to the target
PC seemed to go okay - PC is a AMD Sempron 2400,<BR>with onboard
video/nic/snd, 256meg ram, 20 Gig HD floppy, and 32x CDrom. <BR>I mostly
chose the defaults or offered settings.<BR><BR>Boot for the first time had
the resolution at 1600x1200 - managed to<BR>figure out how to reset that
after a few minutes(doh!), and then it wanted<BR>to do some updates.. like
40meg of them, so I did those and rebooted. <BR><BR>Again, started up
okay. My whole point of installing Ubuntu was to use<BR>the PC
for a distributed computing project, so I needed to figure out
to<BR>download the client, uncompress it, and get it running; this part took
me <BR>better than 3 hours to figure out, with incessant cussing along the
way.<BR><BR>However, I did finally figure out a way to get the client file I
needed<BR>thru Mozilla, get to a command-line so I could "sh" the file, and
then get <BR>it started via the GUI. The key word here was
"Terminal" - that took<BR>forever to figure out.. I was looking for a shell
or command prompt, or<BR>console.. was tearing my hair out over
that.<BR><BR>Long story short - it's working. It's logged in, the
DC project is going, <BR>life is good. Now if my hair will just
grow back, I'll be happier.
