All right, there are several different ways to find and download a distro, if you can’t figure out how to download a file, then you probably are not going to be a good match with linux. However there is a common error that many new users do that can be avoided so you can save yourself from having to burn one or two corrupt cds.

After you have saved the cd to a file in your computer, you will need to find a cd burning program, if you are running a Windows, i recommend using ImgBurn

Install it, and follow the directions
Here’s the important part, burn it at the lowest or second to lowest setting. The higher the burn speed the higher the chance for error, and the wrong file being corrupt can cause the installation to fail or not work correctly.

If you choose to burn at a high speed, your installation may work but some files may become corrupt, so make sure you turn down the heat.
