ubuntu installation without booting cd?
I have an older HP Presario (500MHz) that runs Win98 and WinXP fine.
Wanted to install Ubuntu Linux, but the system will not boot from the CD.
The BIOS is from 1999, and an update cannot be found. Have tried another
CD drive to no avail. Anyone know how to get the install process going
without booting up the CD?
