I'm working with an IBM Thinkpad S30. No internal CD or floppy w/one functioning USB port. What is the best way to get ubuntu (netbook reloaded) installed on a notebook without PXE? It does have support for RPL, but I've read that it can't boot directly with RPL.
No, I can't boot with external CD drive.
No, I can't boot with flash drive.
No, there is no existing OS installed on the HD.
It will boot from an external floppy though, is there a way to boot from floppy and have the iso downloaded and installed?
