Did you get the same message when you tried the install? Is this when
you just try and boot up the "live cd / usb"?

If you are really impatient you could pop to your local 24 hour tesco
and grab linux format or linux user both of which will have a number of
live cd distros on them ;) I have more distros floating around than I
can shake a stick at since these mags seem to think you want another 5
to try every month, lol!
