Ubuntu – How to install Lubuntu without a USB or CDROM

installationlubuntuwubi

The CD-ROM does not work. My PC is very old and does not boot through USB.

I want to install Lubuntu through Windows. Wubi does not support Lubuntu (That is what I think).

Is there a program like wubi that can help?

Can you tell me a way to install lubuntu ?

It sounds like[1] Lubuntu will be supported on Wubi in 12.04. If you're willing to wait 2 weeks, that sounds like the easiest solution.

[1] See http://ubuntu-with-wubi.blogspot.com/2012/01/wubi-will-support-lubuntu-in-release.html, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/lubuntu-12-04-news-roundup/, https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/907524/comments/7. Theoretically, you could test a daily build of 12.04 right now if you wanted, though I don't know how stable it would be.


DO NOT INSTALL DAILY/BETA BUILDS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ARE OK WITH THE IDEA THAT YOUR SYSTEM COULD GO BONKERS OR DATA COULD BE ERASED.
