## A.1. Booting the installer

For more information on where to get CDs, see Section 4.1, “Official Ubuntu CD-ROMs”.

Some installation methods require other images than CD images. Section 4.2.1, “Where to Find Installation Images” explains how to find images on Ubuntu mirrors.

The subsections below will give the details about which images you should get for each possible means of installation.

### A.1.1. CDROM

Download the image for your architecture and burn it to a CD.

### A.1.2. Booting from network

It's also possible to boot the Ubuntu installer completely from the net. The various methods to netboot depend on your architecture and netboot setup. The files in `netboot/` can be used to netboot the Ubuntu installer.
