I can't seem to install ubuntu minimal off the alternate CD on my new Acer Inspire One. Using an external CD drive doesn't seem to work. When I create a bootable usb with unetbootin fails when it tries to mount a cd drive. The only advice I can dig up is to do a default install off the live cd, but that's not what I want -- I need a minimal install.
I have access to a usb drive, blank cd and dvd disks, a desktop computer, and my Acer. The desktop has windows xp, a version of ubuntu server 8.04 that hasn't been updated for a long time, and no internet connection. It also has an internal cd drive that can only read, not burn, disks, and which i have a usb adapter for. The Acer has internet and windows 7 starter.
If I really needed to, I could get access to a dvd burner. If I really really need to, I could get my desktop hooked up to the internet, but I'd have to lug the thing on the bus to work, so I'd prefer not to go that route.
