I want to download and install 12.04.3 but the laptop I have to use does not have a DVD-R drive but has a CD-R/CD-RW drive. Can I use a standard CD to create a bootable LiveCD?

You sure can. Ubuntu has done a good job of keeping their iso files small enough to fit on a standard 700MB CD. Just make sure the iso file you use is less than 700MB (Ubuntu 12.04 is about 670) and you will have no problems.

Correct, I believe 13.04 is the first release that won't fit on a CD. But the OP was asking about 12.04. – Dan Aug 29 '13 at 20:26

Yes, you can use a CD-R cause almost all images is less then 700mb. you can create a USB STICK boot too, may be easier to you
