trying to install Linux

[Donald_Sass at gov.nt.ca]

Thanks for the comments. I actually downloaded the images to my hard 
drive then burned iso images with Roxio. The CD has the iso image and 
nothing else. It looks the same as the downloaded iso image. I gather 
this is wrong and I should create a CD from the image is that correct?? 
I would expect to see all the files on the CD then correct??

Let me guess: you burned the ISO directly to the CD? So that on the CD
you have the .iso-file and nothing else? 

You should burn a disk from the ISO image - not a disk with the image.
How you do this depends on your cd writing software, in Nero and others
there usually is some "write from image" or something in the menus.

Hope this helps.
