Ubuntu will not install

I think it's the sources for the installer. LISTEN:  :evil: i get the same error when installing the ubuntu install disk, it fails at the kernel install...the latest message telling me that APT could not find it! now...i'm a late nighter, so i deside to pull out a Knoppix disk, and do a ubuntu install from the command line like it says here... http://wiki.ubuntulinux.org/InstallFromKnoppixHowto .

Things go more or less like it says on the page till i get to INSTALLING THE KERNEL! Guess what... *no package!* E: Couldn't find package linux-image-686 . THIS is the cause of my failed install. NOT a bad d/l image, NOT a bad burn, but the fact that the kernel image is not where it's supposed to be. It's that simple. It's 2:22am, i'm at a critical part of my install, and i need good info. What is the name of the image i need, and where should ubuntu look for it? Am I the only one having this problem?
