Hey Damian, It doesn't sound like you're missing anything. It might just be a problem with the CD images you've downloaded. Have you checked you've burned the disc as the image, not just burning the .iso file as a file? Is your computer setup for booting from the CD-ROM? (I'm assuming it is, since by the sound of things you've tried Edgy already) Are you able to find an md5 or sha1 checksum for the .iso image? I can't seem to find any on the 'Net. Might I suggest using Xubuntu, the Ubuntu derivative using xfce instead of GNOME for its desktop environment? I think you'll have more luck with that than Ubuntu Lite. It's a much safer bet to find support for Xubuntu on the Ubuntu forums, I think.

I read somewhere about there being a project around called Ubuntu Lite, Which aimed to do the same things as Ubuntu, plus allow it to be run on low-end machines. Everytime I try and search for it, I seem to get nowhere. The "official" homepage doesnt exist anymore (<a href="http://www.ubuntulite.org"> http://www.ubuntulite.org</a>) and when I find instructions on how to install it, it tells me that I need a server disc to be able to do it. I have downloaded 3 server discs, and none of them seem to boot when I try to boot from them! I somehow get the feeling that they are not being burned right, or they are missing something in the first place. Even the ones that I downloaded from the official page did the same thing. Am I missing something?
