Burning your downloaded Ubuntu image

Now you have a Ubuntu image on your PC, you need to get it onto a CD.

From Windows

2. Insert a blank CD-R, if a dialog box pops up - click Cancel.
3. Open Infra Recorder, and select the Actions ? Burn image.
4. Select the Ubuntu CD image file you want to use, then click Open.

From a Mac

To burn most ISOs, you can use Apple's Disk Utility (Disk Copy in older versions).

1. Launch Disk Utility Applications ? Utilities ? Disk Utility
2. Drag the ISO to the sidebar of the Disk Utility main window.
3. Select the ISO where you just dragged it, and select Menu ? Image ? Burn...
4. In Disk Utility, ensure that the Verify burn checkbox is ticked. You may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see the checkbox.
5. Insert a blank CD and select Burn

Check that the verification was successful. If the verification was unsuccessful, make sure that a sample of the directories on the CD can be accessed by the finder.
