Hello. I have a Toshiba Portege R100. This is a really thin laptop, that has no internal CD drive. It also doesn't really support external USB drives. You need a PCMCIA based CD-ROM to boot from CD.
Is there some kind of boot disk I can use to bootstrap the Ubuntu installer? I've tried the "Smart Boot Manager" however it also needs BIOS support for USB CD drives in order to work. I know I could PXE boot this thing to get it moving, however at the moment I'd prefer not to have to build all of that infrastructure. I've done some googling and found a few schemes that involve multiple partitions and lots of hand hacking. This all seems far more complicated than it should be.
