how do i make a boot disc?

[otispunkmeyer]

using nero? ive jus downloaded and unpacked Ubuntu...how to make it so i can boot from it to install?

 

[Fraggable]

is it an ISO file?

EDIT: I know nothing about Linux, just trying to help if I can with what I do know.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Google has an impossible number of how-to about boot disks.

Holy crap...the last time I had to make a boot-disk was when I was playing F-15 Strike Eagle III. Good game btw.

I think all Ubuntu downloads come as ISO images. In that case, there is no need to unpack/unzip the ISO file. Just use Nero to burn the image (not the same as burning the ISO to a data CD).

Under Nero 5.5, go under File --> Burn Image, and select the Ubuntu ISO.
