Well this is a real lame question but simply, I've been wanting to install Ubuntu for a number of years now but just never came around to it. I have a small 32bit Notebook that's as slow as a slug and very annoying to use (which I don't use online). My PC I'm using ATM is a Windows7 64bit and I want to 'download' the Ubuntu software installation files needed but I want to manually install it. Once downloaded on this terminal (64bit), can I move the install files onto a flash stick then install it into my slug notebook? Thank-you.

This is done pretty often, so it's on the Ubuntu site: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
Simply putting the files on the USB will not work. First format the USB so it is empty. Then, to create a bootable USB, use Unetbootin.
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net
It will guide you through the process of creating the bootable USB.
