I have an older computer (Jetway mini ATX, Atom D525 processor --
Thanks, Rich) which currently has Slackware 14.2 running on it. I
installed it back on March 3, 2019. I haven't used the little box for
some time, but now have a new use for it, and want to replace Slackware
with Xubuntu 20. My documentation tells me I used a Plop CD to be able
to boot from a USB stick, the same one I used to install Xubuntu 20 on
this machine. The CD fires up and gives me options on which device to
use. I select the USB option, it blinks a few times, then gives me a new
set of options that I can't scroll through. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you checked the architecture of the machine? since you have a distro
on it check the arch and cpu extensions.
$ uname -a
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
Ubuntu dropped support for old x86 processors so you need to look for
things like PAE and proceed accordingly
This is a 64 bit machine.
uname -a returns:
Linux Jetway 4.4.172 #2 SMP Wed Jan 30 17:11:07 CST 2019 x86_64 Intel(R)
Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
cat /proc/cpuinfo returns a couple of pages of stuff, too long to type
by hand. If it's really needed I can email it to myself via webmail, and
then send it to the list.
