if the computer is too old, you may need a bootdisk.

I dont know how old the comp is...but I installed ubuntu 5.1 on a laptop p3 800 128 mb of ram. It is a little slow but works. It is really good if you install fluxbox. I tried **** Small Linux and it was REALLY fast but didnt have the feature I wanted.
