It's not as friendly as using the Live CD to install but it is a good alternative for certain situations (for instance when the Live CD doesn't work). It's about a 700MB ISO image here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso Hopefully this installation guide should help with installing from the alternative CD: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/index.html On the other hand, where abouts do you live Jon, if you're near to Torbay then maybe coming along to the LUG meet in Paignton might be an option?
