Loading new Distro.

Post by mipcar »

I have a copy of Ubunto that I wanted to try but all my attempts at loading brings up the message "Error Occurred While Loading Archive".
The first copy I tried was a disk I burned the same way/day as the disk I used to put on this Mint Version.. Downloaded on an m/s machine and then burnt the iso disk.
When that did not work I brought down another copy on my Linux machine and copied the file using the Linux recommended way, disk created fine but still get the same error message.. Any ideas?

Also any suggestions of other Distros to play with? My sole experience so far is with Mint 6.
