I'm installing it on a prehistoric vaio laptop (celeron) with 128mb and 10G of HD with a PCMCIA  connected CD drive. I was able to use xubuntu cd as the "update" source since my network card is also connected(configured) via that PCMCIA slot only. When I try to sudo apt-get install xfce from cd rom, it fails or says the file is not there.

mybonemd,

There is a special ISO called the Minimal CD:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

It should allow you to install a commandline-version of *buntu, and then 
you should be able to install the individual components for the rest of 
the minimal xubu you want.  For ease, I would suggest using a wired 
connection and not the wireless (I am not sure if the minimal install 
would even allow wireless in its default state anyway).

Hope that gets you started.

I would really like you to be on my side,
but the side you show me isn't what I had in mind.
