It currently doesn't fit on a CD. To install one of the Ubuntus, go to
http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/ and download the relevant iso. From
what I see there, 32-bit Ubuntus can be installed by putting a 48M iso onto
CD-R and choosing options - e.g. Ubuntu or Lubuntu packages - at install
time. I've been using a NetBoot CD-R for some of my 32-bit installs.

HTH,


Ian
