Is there a way to burn Ubuntu on a CD ROM? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

You should install Ubuntu Minimal from the iso, you can download it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

Then, once logged on the console, set the network, and install the desktop you need:

• for Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
• on an old laptop, try Xubuntu, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Solution 2:

You might want to consider something called plop boot. It is a small image you burn to cd that you boot from, then boots from usb. Useful for all those computers that don't boot usb.

Download and burn Plop-Boot

Download Ubuntu and put it on a usb just like you are going to install it.

Put the usb drive and cd in the other computer, turn it on, and Away You GO!
