The alternative CD is a text mode installer based on the Debian installer.

On a P1 I would suggest trying the Xubuntu
version, for example one of those under "Alternative" on this page (or a
mirror site of it)

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/6.06.1/release.1/

This is the Dapper version, of course - the Edgy version is also
available

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/6.10/release/

Depending on the age, speed and RAM of a P1, you may find that even these
are not possible, in which case you would need to install using the
"server" or text option on the CD, then installing lighter packages -
assuming you need X and a window manager.
