I had no problem installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my new computer.My question is, shouldn't I be able to boot the Live CD (purchased fromcanonical)?The CD does not show up in my boot loader.....
It won't show up in the grub boot loader, if that's what you are referringto. If your BIOS is set up to boot from the CD first (if and when there isone in the drive) then it should boot from the live CD.
