Installation of Ubuntu 9.10

[crayonheadtofumaster]

Hi. I have a Lenovo Ideapad olympic edition, and I would like to install ubuntu. However, my CD drive is broken on it, and I am trying to use a Live CD in order to install. Any ideas?

Intel Pentium M Processor 1.7 ghz
256 mb of ram

if you have a flash drive you could install it from that

here's a link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

Unebootin from a Windows box & burn the iso to USB. Assuming your Bios supports USB booting.

256MB RAM will not give good performance in ubuntu. Try xubuntu instead - I'm pretty sure that supports boot from USB as well.

Ubuntu definitely will not work on 256MB ram. Try Xubuntu or another option is Puppy Linux.

I checked, and apparently, my computer supports usb, but not ubuntu. Thanks for all the help. I'll try again with xubuntu and puppy linux.

I'm running Ubuntu fine on my old Laptop with 256MB
