[Novalug] 1997 bios

If you have the band-width to download an ISO why not just do a Network
install?
  With a DSL connection it only takes a little longer then the time it
takes to download an ISO.
 (: Around two to four hours total depending on how close you watch for
the few later prompts. :)

A few ways to do an Install of Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu/Xubuntu  WITHOUT
even a cdrom drive at all are described here in detail:

Another "NetBoot" way is described here:

Or Google on: xubuntu network install PXE
for a number of other ideas on how to get a net-boot type install
started.

It works and is real easy to setup.
