Public bug reported: Binary package hint: base-installer
Community documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux) provides nice details for installing ubuntu-desktop without a CD from the hard drive. This is not adequate for my hardware since the video card prevents the desktop from loading properly. Hence my need to use 'alternate'. When following analogous procedure for 'alternate', substituting the 'casper' directory for 'install', I can boot off the hard drive, but the installer will not proceed as expected-- something in the installer is still looking for a cdrom. I tried fooling it by creating a symbolic link of /dev/cdrom to my install partition, but this didn't work. ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- can't install alternate without cd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
