Ubuntu Lite

[Norman Ma]

Hello again Damian,

The ISOLINUX folder on the root of the Xubuntu Alternate CD image is
the bootloader which operates off a disc. Look it up on Google. I'm
not too sure how the bootloader works, but everytime I see it on a CD,
I'm sure it boots up from it (assuming the BIOS is set to boot from
CD).

My net is capped right now, so I can't investigate it, but maybe the
Ubuntu Lite images were missing the bootloader? It sounds really
stupid, but it could happen.

Cheers,
Norman Ma
