    easy answer: yes

    In fact, it does not matter how a ISO file of a linux distribution like ubuntu gets burned on a cd or dvd.
    Can be done from windows/mac/linux/whatever.

    Download ubuntu 9.10 from here:
    Download Ubuntu | Ubuntu
    Choose the 64bit version, if you have more than 3GByte of ram.
    Burn the ISO to a CD.

    Then follow this guide:

    Check this HowTo for the steps needed to properly download the ISO file, check its integrity, burn it do disk as an image, then boot with the new installation disk:

    http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ins...ll-cd-dvd.html

    You'll also find a link within that thread that has step-by-step instructions for burning images using almost 2 dozen different burning applications.

    Post back if you have problems creating your install disk.
