Ubuntu 8.04

Guten Tag

A while ago I've downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 from ubuntu.com. When the download was ready I opened the winRAR-file and saw all these files... I've placed all of them in a new map. This map automatically ended on .ISO and i didn't even know maps can have different extensions.

I still want to keep all of my Windows files (Windows XP SP2) so the best thing for me to do would be a dual boot I guess. I know how to install a O/S (CD: 1. @ boot order etc blablabla) but how the hell do I get ubuntu on a CD?

I've downloaded this 700 MB file and I thought it was one big .ISO file but it seemed to be a seperate map with all sorts of files. And how should I create a dual boot? Just make a new partition on my hard disk (still have 270 GB left) and then install ubuntu on that new partition or what.

wubi is no distro, wubi is a tool to get teh dualboot installation without burning any cd or dvd.

yup... put the 'Folder'(it's actualy 1 file that opens like a folder) to a cd. boot from cd
install ubuntu on a second partition and it auto adds it...

Don't put the folder on it , but all the files in it

If you put the folder on it , it won't work

A map can't have extensions

Just burn it on a disk

Burn iso, partition drive (either before hand or with gparted/whatever partition options you has @ ubuntu) and fire away.
