Network Installing Ubuntu Using a Windows box

This document describes how to install ubuntu through your network without having to use a linux box as a TFTP and DHCP server. This is a very easy method for a linux newb like me.

My scenario

I want to install ubuntu linux onto a computer that has no working CD or Floppy drives. This computer has a PXE booting capable BIOS.

If you have a floppy drive, you can make a floppy that will allow you to PXE boot but that article is somewhere else on this wiki.

What you will need

  • A network with a windows computer
  • A a network gateway to the internet (Cable/DSL Router)
  • Tftpd32.exe (The windows TFTP/DHCP server program)
  • The Ubuntu Netboot Image

Download Tftpd32 [http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ From The Makers Website] [http://www.cameronbergh.com/tftpd32.zip From My Mirror]

Here are some links to ubuntu netboot images

[http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz Hoary amd64]

This is how we do it

1. On the windows box, make a folder called "CameronRules"

2. Place Tftpd32.exe in that folder
