Hi David, Try some 12.04 LTS based version. I have been able to install for example 'Precise Gnome Classic Tweaks' from either of the tarballs
GnomeClassic1204.tar.xz GnomeClassic1204-oem.tar.xz into a Compaq with 256 MB RAM and a 400 MHz using Plop to redirect the booting from the CD drive to a USB pendrive with the One Button Installer. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/OBI http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2172971 You can probably also install LXLE and Xubuntu 12.04 and Bodhi Linux from the tarballs provided with the One Button Installer. But I could not install Lubuntu 13.10, probably because some driver was not working with such old hardware. Good luck :-) 2013-12-28 20:08, David Johnson skrev: > Readers, > > I am attempting to burn a CD of the subject lubuntu alternate release iso. > > I am able to verify that the MD5SUM of the .iso file matches the MD5 > checksum posted on the release web page.
