here is the situation
I have a pc with no cd drive. Had Windows installed, so I used wubi to install latest ubuntu release, then used lvpm to move it to a dedicated partition.
works fine.
But I originally wanted to install ubuntu server, not desktop, but wubi wouldn't let me use the server iso.
I tried using lubi with the server iso from within ubuntu to install it on another drive/partition (pc has 2 drives installed 160gb, 60gb). Rebooted, it said it couldn't find the right files to boot and something about something pointing to a wrong file.(can't remember exact wording right now).
So right now I have ubuntu desktop booting on the 160gb drive with the 60gb as extra storage.
In the end, I want ubuntu server on the 160gb and the 60gb as extra storage.
haha, any ideas? who would of thunk having no cd drive would make things so complicated.
