There is an alternative install cd which allows you to install without using a live cd. Works very well on low memory machines. Regards, Daniel

When I have to install Ubuntu on "challenged" boxes (ie. those with limited memory) I do miss the old Install CD or, indeeed, just an "Install" option on the grub menu that could avoid having to boot into the Live CD which is, by definition, rather memory-hungry. Would it be so difficult to have an "Install" option when the CD is first inserted, rather than having to do that? The overheads of having to run the Live distro during the install process must be immense? Whilst I appreciate the Live CD concept is great in showing people what they are going to have before they take the plunge, for people such as myself who install Ubuntu on lots of boxes it's just an annoyance. Thoughts? Sean
