    Install Xubuntu without cd-rom, how?

    I got an old laptop, the cd-rom doesn't work, and I wanted to load Xubuntu or ubuntu on it to try it out. What to do?

    Thanks

    I know that my computer lets you set up a USB to boot first.

    It puts it under "hard drive boot order"

    You can boot through USB port... But you should Change the boot up settings...

    I see your only choice is booting thru USB umm bios though sometimes doesnt like that very much youll have to mess with somethings in there first i think.....

    Thanks, everyone, I should've mention my old laptop probably won't let me boot from usb. Reading from some of your response I found that I can netboot.

    If anyone have the same issue the link is here:
