I need to install xfce4.2.2 on ubuntu without a desktop (it has gnome,
but the system only is a Celeron 500 Mhz 65 MB RAM so Gnome isn't
coping). So no the installers wont work. The PC has no Network card so
I can't download from online. I need to burn it onto a cd and then
install. any ideas?

Thanks
