Scott,

Can you bring a laptop to a local coffee shop and download the ISO
there? The Ubuntu LiveCD is not very big (700MB) and I've found at my
local coffee shop at Southern and McClintock the download takes only
about 7 minutes using BitTorrent. I've even done a network install at
the coffee shop.

Once you have the ISO you can burn it to disc or create a LiveUSB to
install from. If you need help with these options just post to the list.

Be sure to check that your hardware supports installing from the LiveCD.
If it's an older machine and low on RAM download the alternate CD.
