I have a somehwat ancient toshiba laptop (which cant boot from a usb) that i want to install linux on (ubuntu i guess).
currently running windows XP and ubuntu (via wubi). I want to delete these OSs and replace with ubuntu only.
it does have a network boot option - i was wondering if the easiet way is to steup some sort of network boot server on my other computer (which has ubunutu) and get the machine to boot from it so i can install linux? i cant seem to find instructions on the 'net as to how i would go about doing this...
any pointers would be most appreciated.
thanks!
