[Novalug] installing ubuntu

and for instructions how to burn it into a usable, bootable CD:

The "alternate" CD will boot to a text-mode install.  It will allow you to install a minimal (command-line ONLY) system, a server and a few other options besides.  The "Desktop" CD boots to a usable desktop OS which runs from the CD.  YOu can then choose to install from within that session.
