I'll confess to never having done this, but
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy says there is a way
:)

If you currently have windows installed, then the instructions are
available from http://www.ehow.com/how_2138434_ubuntu-boot-disk.html

<http://www.ehow.com/how_2138434_ubuntu-boot-disk.html>I would guess it is
none pae, but once get the CD booting, you can check.

Regards,

Phill.
