I have a very old pc (Dell optiplex g150) with a floppy drive, a harddisk and some usb ports. Now the bios does not seem to support to boot from usb drive.
I want to install ubuntu server. Is it possible, that I boot from some certain floppy disk, which then loads usb drivers and boots from the usb drive to start the installation? Or is there another way to install ubuntu?

There is a utility called Plop that can be run from the floppy and will then let you boot from USB. Here is the link to the section on floppy disks --> plop floppy disk
It already has the generic USB drivers loaded, so it should be pretty simple.
It is an easy tool to use, and it describes how to copy the image onto a floppy.
