Ubuntu 7.10

[ComputerWizKid]

So I have a seperate Linux box just so I could get to know Linux and it has no CD-ROM drive (It broke and I'm out of spares and I don't feel like pulling one out of a working computer.) So is there a way to install it directlly of the ISO image (Possibly if I put the CD contents on the hard drive for that computer?) Or any other easy way Thanks

Depends on what you can boot from, you might be able to start an installation from a USB stick but I've never tried.

Here's an article that will kinda glaze over booting an iso from your hard drive. For doing it under linux go down to the Update. (btw when it says chmod its a mistake for chown)

My brother installed Ubuntu 6.10 using the same procedure that SleepWalkerX posted.

Look in the Linux Beginner FAQ in the OS category. There is a link in the second post that will answer your question with many possibilities.
