Hi folks, I need to install Ubuntu 9.04 i386 workstation on a new HD with net installation. I found follows; [DIR] Parent Directory - [DIR] 386/ 18-Apr-2009 01:03 - [ ] boot.img.gz 18-Apr-2009 01:03 11M [DIR] gtk/ 18-Apr-2009 01:03 - [ ] mini.iso 18-Apr-2009 01:03 11M [ ] netboot.tar.gz 18-Apr-2009 01:03 11M [ ] pxelinux.0 23-May-2009 08:03 14K [DIR] pxelinux.cfg/ 24-May-2009 14:51 - [DIR] ubuntu-installer/ 18-Apr-2009 01:03 Please advise whether to download "mini.iso" OR "netboot.tar.gz"? If download the latter do I need to burn a CD? If NO then how to connect Ubuntu website to install the OS. Please advise. Pointer would be appreciated. TIA B.R. satimis

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot Kind of assumes you have a working floppy drive. Otherwise you'd need to setup a pxe boot then switch over to internet. Could save files on local server too. Shame ubuntu can't boot to a terminal server like Knoppix does. Talk about an easy to get pxe up and running. Could look at that too and then switch install or boots.. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Hi jefro, Thanks for your advice. I don't have floppy drive on the PC which supports boot USB. I'll copy the files on an USB stick. B.R. satimis

Oh darn, I assumed you had an older system. unetbootin or livecd creator or other ways are great for making a bootable usb. See pendrivelinux for other ideas. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
