Installing Ubuntu (Cd Burning)
I have heard lots of good things about Ubuntu Linux so i recently decided to burn a copy onto a CD and dual boot it with my windows vista the only problem is the CD installer provided on Ubuntu.com is larger than any CDs i have here at my house or at my local stores. Is there a way to install Ubuntu and dual boot with it? Please help me. Thank you for reading.
Sorry about any grammatical mistakes

I just checked one of the mirrors and all the .iso images are just under 700MB. Can you not get 700MB CD-R disks where you are?

This explicitly mentions burning on Vista so apparently it's not as impossible as you think.

This is quite a contrast to how I typically burn CDs in Linux:
Rt-click on the .iso file and select "burn to CD"
Anyone know what silliness Vista is doing here? |
