I have a old computer from around 1999. I've used it with Win98,Win2000 and I wonder if I can use some Linux on it,as windows 2000 is a little old now. Maybe some old ubuntu? I am a little noob at linux.. Some info about the computer: 128MB of ram 8 Gb hdd Intel pentium II 400mhz and that's...

The bios just has not got the option for CD booting. Tried it with more than 2 drives with different jumper settings. The pc is designed for windows NT 4.0 and win95 so I guess i shouldn't be CD bootable. ( as those systems didn't boot of CD i think)

Yeah, I thought about that too but i don't have any empty floppies anymore,I'll just try it in the PC. Thank you very much,i didn't think that i would solve it this evening.

So,i'm good if i just put it in the computer? Or do I need to change it? Thanks for the very fast response :)
