You don't need any special Isolinux file to boot from a bootable CD. It should just boot. May be your CD is broken or you forgot to set the boot device priority to the CD. Having a dual boot system makes to difference to booting from a bootable CD. And I think you have 5.10 (there was nothing called Ubuntu version 5.16). I guess you can ask somebody who lives close to you to give you a Ubuntu 6.06 CD. Check http://ubuntu-in.org/wiki/CDRequest and see if there is anybody with Ubuntu CDs close to where you live. Else you can always download a copy from http://ubuntu.com/download/ or order a CD free of charge from http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ > Do let me know if there are some other ways tht we > have to burn the cd to make it bootable..and one last thing..do we have > an option of defragmentation in ubuntu..by any means.??and i have joined > the community but dont know how to log into it..cause the link tht u > sent me only shows from where we can create a login id..but thts now > done,,,now where do i login from?please help.. When you get the CD image, just burn it as a image and not a file. Else it will not work. I don't know how to do that on Windows(TM) as I don't use that. There is no need or facility for de-fragmentation on Ubuntu as the file-systems used by the Linux kernel are journalling file systems and they rarely have fragmentation that's not fixed automatically (say around 2% in 12 years). Well, the link I sent you was for joining our mailing list. The instructions on the page clearly say that ``To post a message to all the list members, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'', and that's all you need to do. So next time instead of mailing me personally, send an email to [email protected] provided you have joined already.
