There is no need to install Lubuntu first. You can install via the
netboot image which you can burn on a CD-R (or CD-RW if available). The
image size is only 31MB, so it will easily fit on a CD-R. However the
setup is a bit time consuming because it uses a text installer which
asks a lot of questions.

Here is the link to the 32 bit image (I suppose that machine isn't
capable of 64 bit if it only has a CD drive):
