Unable to install Ubuntu ver 9.04 as in CD from On-Disk.com


Gentlemen:
I bought Ubuntu 9.04 for 32 bit PC's from On-Disck.com
I am at a loss. Don't know how to get it going.
It's named "Custom Live CD"
It has the following folders: casper, isolinux, preseed, and two files
My computer is a MAC Pro as follows:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
I am also running WINDOWS XP as a virtual machine under PARALLES in the same machine
Please help
Thanks
Carlos

What's the problem? You bought a livecd for 32bit when you should have bought a 64bit if you wanted to install/run on your MacBook, unless you wanted to run it in a VM. Setup your Mac to boot from the CD { I believe pressing the Opt key on powerup to select }
