Create Media

Let all things be done decently and in order.

Create Bootable Media, a DVD, SD Card or USB Key from which to run live and / or install C4C Ubuntu

Note that our ISO is over 4GB – the single file size limit of the FAT32 file format. If not using a GUI app that automatically takes care of this for you (like the ones shown in the tutorials below); SD Cards and USB Keys should be formatted as exFAT.

A Bootable DVD will run on computers with a DVD reader. You’ll need a DVD writer (burner) and a way to properly write the ISO. The following tutorial features Xfburn on Linux but there are several options for Linux, MacOS X and Windows. Skip to the end of this section to see more.

Open Xfburn and click the [Burn Image] button or go to Action > Burn Image

Click the drop-down menu under Image to burn

Navigate to the C4C Ubuntu ISO and double-click

Insert a blank DVD and click [Burn image]

Xfburn will show a progress bar…

and will alert you when it’s done

Xfburn progress bar shows the ISO to DVD burn is Complete

You’re ready to run live and / or install C4C Ubuntu 22.04
