So over the last few days I've been struggling to network install xubuntu onto an old Toshiba that lacks a cd drive and a bootable usb. I am using the alternative xubuntu extracted image and I have configured everything according to the suggestions in this article http://hugi.to/blog/archive/2006/12/23/ubuntu-pxe-install-via-windows but my Tfpd32 server keeps exploding and says this

and on the laptop I'm trying to install to after appearing to be going well the last thing it says is this..

Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default ok
No Default or UI configuration directive found!
boot: _

but this is bull because I've checked default which is inside the pxelinux.cfg folder and it points to ../boot-screens/syslinux.cfg which totally exists and everything. I have all the permissions set to let everything do whatever they want. Please somebody help!
