Ubuntu CD

[TSE]

Hi, I don't want to order the free Ubuntu CDs so I downloaded them. Once it finished downloaded, I wanted to burn it into a CD so I just dragged all the files onto the CD and burned it, and now when I try to run off the CD it will not work. Did I do something wrong?

You have to burn the disk image using Disk Utility.

You have to burn/copy the disk image file. Use Toast or Disk Utility for that. Dragging the files won't work.

How do I do that?

Thank you so far.

Images -> Burn

open the disk utility from the utilites folder under applications. then open up the Ubuntu ISO. insert the disk and then burn it at 8x for the best outcome. i just burned a disk the other day and it worked great.

so I go on Diskutility, click on the whitediskfolder that is the Linux ISO, click on new image, click on untitled DVD, than for the options it has Encryption, Size, and Format, what do I put for those?

You don't make a new image.

In the menu Images -> Burn.
