How much memory do you have?  That's likely the limiting factor here.
You probably don't have enough memory to boot a LiveCD, but might be
able to install LXDE from the install DVD or via a network install.

If you have a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless driver supported
natively out of the box, a netinstall is probably the best option.
You download a small ISO and the installer downloads all the packages
from the Internet.  That way you can get LXDE without also downloading
GNOME, etc.  The 32-bit net install image for Fedora 16 is here:

Otherwise, you should be able to install from the DVD just fine.  The
32-bit install DVD image is here:
