I have a Compaq Armada 110,
the operating System is not working,
cdrom in not working,
floppy drive is working but I do not have a pc to create a floppy,
it can do a boot by a network card but I do not know how.


How can I install ubuntu in this machine?

It's not possible to boot by USB.
This notebook works with windows xp (it's broken).

I've installed ubuntu by PXE (networking) in my little aspireone, it's a bit difficult if you know nothing about dhcp, tftp and linux networking in general.

With more or less work I will install Ubuntu in this computer.
Now I have a tutorial to start.


Thanks
