Pragmatically I would just go for a 14.04 (LTS) install. It is pretty
stable already and following updates you would end up with a long-term
supported install. If it has to be 13.10 then its either a netinstall
with a preseed (so no interaction is required), but that is slightly
complicated. Or use a 13.04 install media and upgrade from there. A bit
tedious.

Bug description:
  A fresh install of Server 13.10 on old hardware fails when a USB
  keyboard is present. The installation succeeds when a PS/2 keyboard is
  installed.

  The installation appears to hang at the third screen, which is "Select
  Language". The screen does not respond to keyboard or mouse events.

  The issue was experienced independently on HP/Compag  dc5850 with
  Athlon X2 2.3 GHz dual core, 4GB RAM; and DELL Optiplex 755. See
  "Server 13.10 Install Hangs",
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/364945/server-13-10-install-
  hangs/364949.

  The issue was not present on Server 12.04.3 LTS or 13.04.
