I would like to install Ubuntu on my computer without usb (Do not have one on me atm, and I dont have an optical drive) I DON'T want to dual boot. I just want Ubuntu and nothing else. I tried using un. How to install Ubuntu Linux without having to burn the.ISO image to CD. Why would you want to do this? 1 - you don't have a cd burner. 2 - you can't be bothered to wait for your pressed cd to arrive in the post. 3 - because you can. -- The howto is mainly a simplification of this () excelent guide for which i take no credit -- The hardware i used to sucessfully install Ubuntu without booting a CD: Dell Inspiron 1100 2.2 Ghz laptop, 20GB hard disk, running Windows XP on a single NTFS partition. Install Ubuntu Without DvdNo other system has been tested ~ at least, not by me. Brief overview of the steps: 1 - resize the c: windows partition 2 - get hold of the ubuntu kernel 3 - set up GRUB for NT 4 - install ubuntu easy really! I should stop now, hehe #1 ~ Resizing the partition (I used Partition Magic 8.0) Notes: The trick is not to create specific Linux partitons, but to resize the Windows one leaving nothing but free 'unallocated' space. The ubuntu installer will be able to install itself to this space and do all the fancy partitioning stuff automatically without frightening us linux n00bs too much In my case i redistributed my 20GB to 15GB for windows and 5GB of 'unallocated space'. #2 ~ Setting up the kernel We only need to download two files for the installer to work. Both of these we could download from place both of these files in C: boot - you'll probably have to create this directory yourself #3 ~ Setting up GRUB for NT (a bootloader that will allow us to choose either the Ubuntu installer or to boot normally into Windows) The files that we need for GRUB for NT actually contained in the GRUB for DOS package, but that's no problem, so download that: from here: or here: The two files that we want are 'menu.lst' and 'gldr', you can delete the rest. Place 'gldr' in the root of the hard disk (probably C: ) and make a new directory inside C: boot called 'grub' (ie, C: boot grub) and put you menu.lst in there. All we have to do now is edit the menu.lst to give an option to select the Ubuntu installer and to set the boot.ini to load GRUB. A) ~ Editing menu.lst open it with notepad and append right at the bottom of the file the following lines. C: grldr='Start GRUB'. 4 ~ Installing Ubuntu Now when you reboot you should be presented with a screen offering you the choice to either boot into windows, or to 'Start GRUB'; choose 'Start GRUB' and then on the next menu choose 'Ubuntu Installer'.
