The best you can do at this point is to do a network install. You can boot that from this CD image: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/mini.iso I've just arranged for that to be linked from the index at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/precise/ so that it's slightly more visible. Of course, you can always upgrade from a previous release too. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
