I believe this is the err log, if not dont know where it is. I downloaded the iso and burned to cd but it does not come up like it used to to install even though it is burned properly.

I've been getting the same error myself lately, and I can only attribute it to overly busy activity on the Ubuntu update servers. The best thing to do when you get an error such as this is to just try again later, perhaps at a less busy time (I find that nights are the worst times and so are early mornings). Once the Ubuntu Gutsy craze calms down, you should see less and less of these problems.

Can you help with this problem?
