I burned CDs of both the current production Ubuntu ISO (5.04) and the new Breezy Badger (5.10) ISO. I had some issues getting it to install on my hardware, but in both cases the CD itself booted up just fine. Admitedly I burned the CDs on my powerbook and not on Linux [1] but that at least proves that the ISOs themselves are bootable. Walt 1. Yeah, yeah, but it's my only box at home with a CD burner. :) Attachment:
