Installing Ubuntu without a CD?

[Wedge]

An external hard drive would work. I don't remember if it clears your hard drive or not. Do you not have a 2gb flash drive lying around or one that you could borrow?

I just borrowed a flash drive. Exactly 2 gigs too.
So I mount the usb flash image onto the usb and you know what?
The Motherboard's BIOS is too outdated. It doesn't support USB booting.
I'm debating opening my PC for it's DVD drive and using that temporarily but I'm not sure the same cords go in as the CD drive.

If you have another computer anywhere, boot it off the ubuntu live cd, then use the ubuntu usb installer program.

i used to have it installed on my computer so i could dual boot at startup.... and i did it without a disk. looking back on that, i must have been smoking something really strange
