Installing Without CD. USB, or WUBI

[Orcris]

Is there any way to install Ubuntu without a CD, USB, or WUBI? My netbook doesn't have a CD drive and I don't want to pay for one. I don't have a spare USB I can use, and I want to use all 250 GB's of my hard drive, not just the 30 I can get using WUBI. Is this possible?

It seems like all of these are for installing it from Ubuntu, not Windows.

Well, I have a wireless network. I don't actually have it set up to share files.


well you are limited in your options, you are restricting all the mediums for installing.

If you can set up a network share then as posted you can do a network install

You can install with Wubi and move it to a partition . http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354&highlight=wubi+partition

Because of the 30 Gb limitation , when moved to a partition A Wubi installation no longer has that limitation . I would not have suggested it otherwise .
