Hi Amro,
I downloaded the Desktop Edition. My system is set up to have the CD drive
as the first boot device. I just started the system with the Ubuntu CD in
the drive and it started loading no problem.
You can run it from CD, or install it.
HTH
All the best

Hi Andrew,
Sorry to hammer on this, but which one is the edition that can be run from
the CD? Is it the same one that can be installed? I could find two editions,
the desktop one and the enterprise one which I very much doubt is the one I
should be looking for :). As well, how do you choose to boot from the CD
without sighted help?
Any help is very much appreciated,
Amro
