Why this installation method?
Because I have a laptop/desktop with neither CD drive nor Floppy drive that can actually make the machine boot from. However, I do have a PCMCIA Cd drive.
If you don't have the PCMCIA Cd drive, I believe there's a way to install from a partition (usually /dev/the_partition
) you mount during installation procedure.
<!> If you have an URL we can use for that method, please provide it.
Hardware used for this
I successfully did it on:
- Fujitsu Lifebook B2175
- Celeron 500 MHz
- 256 MB of Ram
- 20 GB of HD
- PCMCIA CD drive
- Ubuntu previously installed on server mode via [NetBoot]
- Edubuntu CD (latest breezy .iso at the time I am writing this)
Software used
- Edubuntu or any GnuLinux distro should do fine.
- GRUB
-
vmlinuz
andinitrd.gz
files
Preparing the booting
- Mount the Edubuntu Cd to a dir you have access to or create a new directory (it depends on what permissions you have to work on the current system).
- As for this HowTo I am using a previously installed Ubuntu on server mode, I created a
/mnt/CdDrive
directory, and then mounted/dev/hdc
on it, which is the PCMCIA Cd drive.
$ mkdir /mnt/CdDrive $ mount /dev/hdc /mnt/CdDrive
- Get the
vmlinuz
andinitrd.gz
files from the Edubuntu Cd.
Edit Grub file
Let's set menu.lst to read our vmlinuz
and initrd.gz
files.
/!\ Ooops! I apologize but I have lost the URL where I found the lines to set GRUB. If you know the lines, please do provide them.

Reboot
Now, let's reboot and cross fingers :)
