My issue is that the machine only has a cd drive and the Lubuntu disc (which I downloaded from here several times: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu) and it is 705mb every time and won't on a 700mb. Are there any files on the image that can be further compressed? Maybe using 7z ultra compression. I only need to lose 5 mb. I can't afford a dvd drive atm and it's not really worth it for me to get one anyone as I have other Linux machines already. Thanks in advanced for any help.

This is a way to get some computers to boot from usb when they don't want to. Now that I think of it bringing a disc of this to have around at a linux users group might be handy. If someone brings an old machine that can't boot from a dvd or usb.
