<p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Installing Ubuntu from Internet with a succesful Linux installation =<br />
Sometimes a person is just too lazy to download an image, burn it out and boot on it, with everything in between. But there is help to be found, if you got the patience.<br />
== Preparing for Installation ==<br />
First you need to get a couple of files to make '''grub''' boot up on. <br />
<br />
The URLs to find these are always subject to change but you can obtain the latest one from [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet here.] I will use the ones that are relevant for me today.<br />
<br />
Use wget, which is a program that downloads a file from a website. Easy to use.<br />
<br />
wget ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux<br />
wget ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz<br />
<br />
This will download the files to the current directory you are in. Make sure that you are in a directory that grub or any other external programs can view. So do not put it into an encrypted /home/user directory. /boot/ is a great place to put it. <br />
<br />
Now reboot.<br />
<br />
== Starting the Installation == <br />
Press escape to enter the '''grub''' menu. Press '''c''' in the menu to enter command line for grub. What you basically need to do, is to tell grub that it got a new kernel and initrd to make use of. You do this by writing:<br />
<br />
initrd /where/you/put/initrd.gz<br />
kernel /where/you/put/linux<br />
<br />
Obviously change as needed.<br />
<br />
Then write:<br />
<br />
boot<br />
<br />
It will now start a standard installation. Please realize that it will take an extremely long time, depending on bandwidth. It will also be a very stripped down version of Ubuntu being installed.</div>Trillex
