Just to clarify: I wasn't trying to put Ubuntu on a separate partition or to install it alongside Windows. I only used Windows because I couldn't find another way to create an install USB key for Ubuntu. Unetbootin is not available for PowerPC machines, even running Linux, and I was trying to install onto a new intel machine which therefore didn't have an existing working OS to use Unetbootin in. I therefore used Unetbootin on a machine running XP in my workplace.
I'm no longer trying to install Ubuntu at all on anything. I've tried installing Ubuntu on a total of 3 machines to date and not one has been a success. (One install failure described here; one never actually launched the installer; one did install but was unbearable to use with crippled graphics.) I'm currently running Arch, Debian testing and Debian stable on these machines and they all work fine. I was not therefore seeking support. I was just reporting a possible bug. If you think it was just a corrupt download, fine. End of story. Case closed. :) I still think posting checksums on the installation page would be a good idea. This is something I will always check if I can find them.
