[Ubuntu-be] where to start to install download 610 desktop i386 ?

[Steven Lemmens]

Hello there

You have to burn the iso file you just downloaded to a CD. Make sure you use
the option of burning an "image", as this is wat the iso file is. An iso
file is kind of like a ZIP file, with a lot of files inside and it's those
files that need to be burned onto the cd, no the iso itself. You can do that
easily with functions like "burn an image". It should be there somewhere.

Then, when you burned the cd, try rebooting your computer while the CD is
still in place. You should see a startup screen of Ubuntu this time. Set
your language and keymap (F2 and F3) and then select "Start or Install
Ubuntu".
This will start the Live environment of Ubuntu, so you can test it all out.
When you're ready to install Ubuntu, just double click on Install.
You'll find that on your desktop.

Remember that for Ubuntu you'll need a ext3-partition and a swap-partition.
Both can be made from within the Install. The swap-partition has to be a bit
bigger than the size of the memory in your computer.

That's all there is to it. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to
ask.
