Ubuntu 12.4 Alpha 2 problem

[ahf]

I've downloaded the Alpha 2 version two days ago burned (ImgBurn) the ISO file to disk but the CD won't auto-start, anyone else with similar problems?
I use 3G to D/L so don't have more data to waste.

Have you checked the MD5 checksum?

I downloaded one of the day releases just before Alpha2 and it works without a problem, there aint much updates from that to get to Alpha 2.

Hashtab on Windows or MacOSX is very useful for checking hashes.

If the CHECKSUM is fine as suggested above, then try also installing the downloaded ISO to USB using a USB Creator, then boot off it to install.

I heard 12.04 would not fit on a CD, (700 MB+) but had to be burnt to a DVD?
Is this a fact? I have not actually bothered with trying out alphas this time round,

Why not just try it out on a virtual machine? No need for cd's, dvd's or flash drives.

I tried the USB Creator as suggested by smiley_lauf but same problems so my guess is that I've downloaded a file that somehow got corrupted, anyway I just wait for the final ISO file.
Thanks to all.

Can we get free CD's from the Shuttleworth Foundation?

IIRC they shut down that venture a while back.
