[04:40] <sheeps1> hi, I bought an acer netbook and I'd like to replace its linpus with ubuntu. I'm struggling a little with what to do: there's no cd drive and I don't have a usb stick large enough to hold the normal installer image
[04:41] <sheeps1> I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD (eventually) on the web site but I don't know if I can use that with a usb stick?
[14:05] <Torgoton> I'm about to attempt an install on a very VERY old machine using the netboot files. Any recommended parameters I should use? "server-expert" maybe?
[14:15] <Torgoton> I'd be happy to get it to boot and give me a shell and have network access.
[17:07] <Torgoton> I'm up to "[!] Download installer components". Which components do I really need to get Ubuntu to install and boot? ide-modules? If the network is already working, do I need the PCMCIA and/or NIC modules?
[17:07] <Torgoton> kernel-image?
