This is my third or fourth time trying to dual-boot on the same machine. Each time I have been left with no ability to boot in to either OS. I tried to restore a missing boot kernel, but Windows isn't finding my partition. Ubuntu doesn't load...well, it did one time, but I have no idea what happened. I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back, somehow Ubuntu had booted. However, upon rebooting, everything went to hell. As far as I can tell, though, the issue could very well be with my CD drive. No problem, right? Just install from a flash drive.
Well...the only flash drive I can get my hands on is 512mb, and I don't have another optical drive lying around. I do have an 80 GB external hard drive. Could I use that to install Ubuntu to my machine?
I was on the site for Damn Small Linux and read that it can be expanded in to a Debian install. If that's the case, is there a way for me to install Ubuntu from the command line in Debian?
