Trying to install on a laptop with no CD drive via a PXE network boot off a Windows machine using Tftpd32.
i followed the instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
(modifed the download link for netboot for jaunty, although I got the same error with interpid
I'm able to get the "install" screen up on client computer, then it says "loading..boot failed" and I get the following error on the server computer:
"File : error 131 in system call ReadFile An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file. [07/06 19:13:15.484]"
Any insight? I thought it might be a problem caused during the extraction but even tried it by downloading th file direct from:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/
Any insight?
