Making a Live Disc?

I want to make a live disc of a Linux operating system, so I downloaded the “ISO” of Ubuntu 7.10. After downloading I used “ISO Buster” to extract the files. Then wrote them on to a disc. But, when I tried to boot form the disc the computer goes ahead into my second boot option which is the hard drive, skipping the CD. I tried both the x86 and x64 versions. And even tried it on another computer nothing seems to help. Am I doing something wrong or is it just the disc?

Thanks.

Linux!?!?!?

Hey, I’m trying to install Ubuntu from the live CD. The Ububtu option screen comes up, I select Start or Install Ubuntu from Live CD. Then the screen goes black for a moment and give a message giving some sort of timer error and for me to set noapic as a boot option, what could be causing this? I have ran Ubuntu perfectly fine in the past with most of the other versions, this is version 7.10 and it doesn’t seem to wanna work. Any help?

+ Same problem with Linux Mint 4.0

HAVE had ubuntu installed on this system before, and it’s not a dell.

Checked all the forums i can and no real solution found.

also, anyone know any other linux dist. that use the new Beryl with the spinning box desktop?
