Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

You downloaded an iso image.
You have to burn it to cd now and boot from it.
If you downloaded the install cd the actual install will start and if you downloaded the live cd you will start a live session running from the cd/dvd drive.
You need to burn the iso image to a cd, e.g by using k3b (tools -> burn cd image) or by doing as root
Code:
#cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc isoname.iso
Change the dev=/dev/hdc to that of your cd writer and isoname.iso with the name of the kubuntu iso. Once you have done that, reboot and run the installation from the cd you created.
I've downloaded the iso file (kubuntu-5.04-install-i386.iso) and burned it to cd. I checked the boot sequence on the windowz (2003 server) machine I want to load Kubuntu on and it is set to boot from cd first. When it boots up, I see a message ("Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:") it is checking the cd drive for boot disk but then moves on to start 2003 Server. The cd drive doesn't spin up until well past the message "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:".
