[Bug 507288] Re: similar to #466109 but happened with live USB stick on Dell 910 (ubuntu 8.04-->9.10)

Hi Ernie!
     No problem, everyone has to start somewhere. :-)
The images at cdimage.ubuntu.com are what we call LiveCD ISOs. What that means is that you can download one of them and either burn it to CD or use the USB CD creator under System->administration->Startuyp Disk Creator to make a bootable image that you can then use to boot your machine into a live session of Ubuntu. The great part about this is that the Live image does no harm to whatever you have installed on your machine. It simply runs in memory.

We use them a lot in trying to see if some behavior still occurs in the
latest build. The Live images located at the cdimage address are built
nightly, so you get the most current software to test on.

Testing the mainline builds is a bit more involved, so I will leave that
off for the time being until you have had the chance to try testing with
one of the live ISOs.

Thanks!
