But the way I would do it, if you already have the cd is put the laptop's hard drive in another laptop/desktop, install ubuntu, take the hard drive back out and put it back in your laptop and it will boot, and as somone said on the list a couple weeks ago "detect some stuff is missing and some has been appeared" and you should be right, the most you may need to do is run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" to reconfigure your xserver.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu without the use of a CD Rom Drive? (my laptop CD Rom is playing up and a replacement is a week or two away)
