Kind of a weird question. Please feel free to send me elsewhere if I need to. I am an absolute linux newb but have been playing with Ubuntu (on Dell 8400) and Slitaz (old laptop).
IBM A20m running at 500+MHz, 512 RAM and 8 GB free on the HD.
I have both the Lubuntu and Xubuntu iso files.
This BIOS will not boot from USB and CDROM is broken. I would like to figure out a way to install or mount Ubuntu to the empty partition so I can see if this machine can handle it reasonably. I love Slitaz, but I'd like my girls to be able to begin to use it, and Slitaz is a little 'rough' for 4 year olds!
Thanks
