Options for someone unable to boot from USB?

[twps]

I was hoping to use an older PC as a Linux desktop for my children, 4 & 7. I have been really impressed with what I have seen from Ubermix. However, my older PC cannot boot from USB. Are there alternatives for a boot from CD? I would like to install on the HDD in the desktop for long term use. Any experience or suggestions?

I know it's a stale thread, but I just went through the same issue with a VirtualBox install.

See the CD images here:

Create the bootable CD, stick the Ubermix key in a slot and boot the CD.  It should all work.
