Debian 6 uninstallable?

[Bret Busby <bret@busby.net>]

Hello.

To try to install Debian 6, I downloaded, as advised on the Debian web 
site, the Debian 6 netinst iso file, wrote it to a CD, and tried to 
install Debian 6, using it.

However, the computer on which I tried to install it, did not boot from 
the CD.

I have previously installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, from a CD, on that 
computer, without any problem.

Is the Debian 6 netinst iso, not installabe, or, not bootable?
