Is there a reason why you're not trying Lubuntu that will still fit on a CD? You can always go to Synaptic and add Mate from Meta packages, if you don't care for LXDE. Do you know how to burn an iso file? I use the free Ashampoo on WinXP. When I was on my WinXP, I did have problems burning Linux DVDs, but no problem to download them, but then that was years ago. If you need any other help, let us know.

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Downloading Problem
Hi all,
Let's take this from the very basics. I'm still not
able to download Linux Mint (Mate interface) so
that it completes.
First--being that my surviving Windows computer
that I would like to convert to Linux is on XP, is it
even possible to download? I understand that the
Vista version is limited to 2GB files for downloads
and I assume XP is smaller.
If I can't, in fact, download the .iso file needed, I
need to know that and try something else.
