Li-f-e for older PC's

We received a gift PC this morning.
Gateway 1.5 GHz   512MB   140Gb HD with Windows XP Home
A perfect candidate for Li-f-e but it only has CD-RW

Many older PC's only have CD drives so can not easily install (or run) 
Li-f-e.

A net install might be a nice option.    Or an add-on CD.

The Live USB stick option should work (after I buy, and try, one).


I also suggest adding a DVD requirement to the below listed site.
http://en.opensuse.org/Education/Live states:
  Minimum System Requirement
  Any PC or a Virtual Machine with 512M RAM
