Hi Kent,
There are the Ubuntu mini.iso files and the Ubuntu Server iso files
http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
You can install any of the Ubuntu family flavours (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, ...
Xubuntu) from these iso files, and they are within CD size.
Best regards
Nio

All,
This is in reply to Message: 2
It would be nice if there were a set of CD ISO we could download that
was stripped down or just a set that basically we could use in
conjuntion like Yellow Dog Linux used to have that were CD.
That way we could, and I see the point of keeping such as to re-use the
older equipment. Sometimes that's the only way an ISO can be used is by CD.
Not sure if anyone would be willing to split the DVD or USB iso to multi
CD iso, but I'm in favor!
Kent C.

What is your video card?
The longer story....
I have a Shuttle with an Athlon XP 2000+ cpu and 512MB ram.
It is configured for dual boot - Windows (XP Pro) / Linux (now
Lubuntu 14.04).
It was running Lubuntu 12.04 and I wanted to use ffmpeg but I
got an error messsage - "illegal operation" so I thought to
upgrade it to 16.04.
I have a 32GB usb stick which currently has 21 different
boot/install options using YUMI multiboot. I wasn't sure if the PC
would boot from it but it did, up to the point of the YUMI menu.
Every option I tried from the menu would start to boot and then
hang at apparently the same point in the boot process. The PC has
a DVD drive but won't boot from DVD, only CD. The 16.04 Alternate
iso won't fit on a CD. So I did a distribution upgrade to 14.04
and still ffmpeg wouldn't run. Then I caught on that the version
of ffmpeg I was using was too modern for the cpu so I compiled one
which worked. I can presumably do another upgrade to 16.04 if I
still want it, but not until the option is available from the
update manager. Currently the PC is doing what I want it to do ...
slowly. I am in no hurry to make further changes.
I'm assuming you are referring to my Shuttle PC. I think this extract
from lshw is what you want.

If you're thinking it might have something to do with the failure to
boot from usb, there's another idea I stumbled across some time ago,
possibly in connection with this PC. Apparently some boot processes
temporarily disable the usb controller - not very helpful if you're
using it to boot.

Hi Lubuntuers,
Let us discuss the problem that the current Lubuntu alternate iso files
are oversized for CD disks. I filed a bug report about it, but it has
not generated much heat.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1572429
Do you want to make an effort to create a CD sized alternate iso file,
or is it time for Lubuntu to abandon those old computers, that only boot
from CD?
We can suggest to try booting via Plop and a USB boot drive
(chainloading after Plop has supplied a USB driver).
Best regards
Nio
