Installing Ubuntu from floppy disk?

[Ashley Benton]

Arachnee seemed to be OK to be installed but apparently it can't connect on
internet so I guess the piece that is inside the computer must be broken.
I'm still reading your suggestions and thanks for them. I will try to put
this computer back on internet like that my son would be able to use
arachnee or a linux remote desktop. As he is young he won't be working at
all on the computer so if it is not working very well is not really
important.
And yes I went to check in the stores but that's really too expensive right
now if I want to afford my rent so he will have to do with the old one or
mine for a little while.
Anyways this old computer made me learn a lot of things this last few days,
so I will try to make something out of it and maybe he will finish as a
server and firewall for the working computers.
Thanks you for your answers and I'm still working on it, I'll let you know
when I will have made something out of it or if I break it completely.
