Computer wont boot from Cd, Boot Floppys?


I want to install Ubuntu on a relatively old computer which does not support booting from the CD Drive, and was wondering where I could find floppy imgs that I could boot the install CD from. I have no clue about the specs of this computer, except that it has a pentium 3.

Really? I would have thought a Pentium III computer would be able to boot from a CD, I thought it only the really old motherboards that have this problem.

But anyway...I found a howto giving instructions for a network install. here. Maybe that's what you're looking for?
