Hello all
I've a bit of an odd situation: an old-ish laptop with no bootable USB and no CD drive. It does have an old version of Ubuntu installed.
I think I have two broad approaches...
- Set up a boot from LAN: I have found older instructions, but I wonder if anyone has some new and clear instructions? My broadband hub already does DHCP so I can't really modify addressing too much
- Try to download the new version to the HDD from the machine and begin a new install from that: does anyone have any guidance
The existing installation seems pretty shattered: the GUI does not load at all!
Any help appreciated
