LINSPIRE - Free of charge

Linux install cd's need to be run from boot unfortunatly.

ok sorry for making stoopid suggestions, ive never used a linux install cd, just the ones bootable from cd like knoppix.

teach me to make assumptions...

"how do I install it without going out and getting a cd writer, kind of defeats the point"

Hmm, some distros allow you to make a boot floppy, which then accesses the ISO image on the hard drive... Not sure how you do that with this distro though... (but then you could buy a burner from Scan for under £20...)

Offer to post it out to you is there Pyle if you want it. And tbh even though Linspire is a kiddy distro I believe it is pretty much debian under the hood, so I would have thought an NFS install shouldn't be too difficult.


Though I'm sure tonight I will prove myself wrong

it's debian under the hood, but the installation procedure is FAR from an NFS-friendly d-i setup
