Hi Ammar bhai, nice to hear from you. Hope you're doing well. You can try the same way you did it on Mandriva. I'm describing the process below, though I don't guarantee it to work. Try it and let me know if it worked or not.
1) Create a new directory where the ISO file will be mounted: sudo mkdir /mnt/hardy 2) Let's mount it: mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso /mnt/hardy 3) Now copy the kernel and initrd images from /mnt/hardy and copy them to /boot (file names: vmlinuz and initrd.gz) 4) Now edit the bootloader. I'm assuming that you're using GRUB, but if you use LILO, then let me know. sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst or sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst Add the following: title Hardy Install kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.gz 5) Reboot your system and choose Hardy Install from the boot menu. Let me know if it works or not. - Russell On Sat, Apr 26, 2008 at 10:10 PM, Ammar Karim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Well I'm reading up on the email exchanges.
