Step 1: Stuff U Need

the stuff you will need for this is:

1. old 5g ipod that you dont use for music
2. a live CD with ubuntu
3. computer
4. a little time

Step 2: Get the Software

first go to:
http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download
this is the latest release
then go to:
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
to get the ISO recorder

Step 3:

after all of that is done downloading
open and install the ISO recorder
then open your ubuntu download
it should open up in the ISO recorder
click next

Step 4: Boot the Live Cd

Go into the BIOS and set your PC to boot on the cd drive.To check this, restart your computer. When it starts up, you will have to hit a key in order to enter the BIOS configuration screen. Usually it will say on screen to Hit key to enter Setup. Watch for this. If you cant see it anywhere, I have listed the following BIOS config keys for some computers.

Acer: - Ctrl+Alt+Esc
ALR PC: (F2) or (Ctrl)(Alt)Esc)
AMI BIOS: (Del), (F1) or (F2)
AST, Advantage, Award, Tandon: - Ctrl + Alt + Esc
Award BIOS: (Del) or (Ctrl)(Alt)(Esc)
Compaq: (F10) (do this when the cursor is in the upper right corner of the screen blinking)
Dell: - F1 or Del.
Dell: - Some require pressing reset twice
Dell: - Ctrl + Alt + Enter
DTK BIOS: (Esc)
Gateway 2000: - F1
Hewlett Packard: - F1

" Aptiva - Press F1

" IBM PS/2 with reference partition: - Press Ins during boot

MAKE SURE THE FOLLOWING ARE GOOD TO GO:

Step 5: Ubuntu Menu

you will get a menu after the cd loads

you can either load linux and try it or install it either way just follow the setup
very easy to understand
