I recently bought a laptop. I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 (Desktop edition).
I wanted to install Ubuntu using PXE, but without internet. Therefore I'm left with an option of booting the ISO over the network.
My host computer has Windows XP Pro. I tried extracting the iso to tftp's root folder, and configured Tftpd32 to use isolinux/isolinux.bin as boot file instead of pxelinux.0
The bootloader loads but gives an error as shown below:
ISOLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 isolinux:
Cannot boot from this CD. Please try a BIOS update.
I came to know that something called NFS is required to do things like this. I downloaded Windows Services for Unix, and I'm stuck up in the installation procedure. What exactly is "User Name Mapping Server"?
Could someone give me a push in the right direction? I want to boot the Live CD (and hence install Ubuntu) via the network.
I know that its easier using CD or USB drive, but I want to learn how to do this.
