Help with a REALLY Old Machine

[Philip]

You are sure the CD's are bootable images? Sometimes people will download
Ubuntu and forget to burn them as ISO.

That being said there is a smart boot floppy image that will allow some
older machines to boot from CD-ROM drives with an older Bios.

See the how-to at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SmartBootManagerHowto
