Lan Boot/Install ubuntu

[TripWire7]

Here's my problem I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29. It does not come with a CD-rom drive and the bios does not support a flash drive for a boot option. It does support a LAN for a boot option.

Is there a way to set up a LAN boot server in Ubuntu 9.04 so I can install ubuntu on it?

I can only direct you to this (http://christian.amsuess.com/tutorials/lanbootserver/) but I've never tried it my self... :)

Edit:

unetbootin...it is in the repositories, but it isn't current

Get the one from the web (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ )....download it, change the permissions to run a program....plug in a usb drive and download your favorite flavor.

I have tried it once and it didn't work, but the system was also antique. I have heard from others that unetbootin works rather well.

there are some suggestions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot

another possible way is with a usb cd rom

Thanks for the info guys I've been working on it for awhile now and looked over your stuff. I'm going to try each and stop when I find one that works. I'll let you know what I find or if I run into problems.
