Installing plain Ubuntu without dual booting MS-Windows is not really much
different than those instructions. You just use an plain Ubuntu install disk
instead of the XUbuntu install disk (XUbuntu is just a variant that installs
one of the alternitive GUI Desktop versions of Ubuntu). Instead of preserving
the MS-Windows partitions, you just delete them -- eg let the installer
overwrite them with a new set of Ubuntu partitions.
