Yes, the "Alternate CD" will allow you to install in text mode on
low-memory systems.  I'm going to assume that you meant 130 MB, since
there's no way Windows 2000 would run on 130 KB....

Anyway, you can get it from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download,
just make sure to check the box at the bottom for "Check here if you
need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD,
instead it uses a text-based installer."

Also see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems and
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LowEndSystemSupport.  You may
consider using Xubuntu (with the XFCE desktop) instead.
