I tried using Ubuntu 8.10 in virtual box on a windows 7 machine to install Ubuntu 9 on a Portage 200. Got it to boot to the Ubuntu screen, all the way up to Installing from a mirror. Get a Bad archive mirror message. The vitual box is connected to the Internet, have tried a few mirrors, same message. Cheers Thanks Rob, this is helping quiet a bit following instructions.

And if there is a way to get a live iso served over the network via pxe. My purpose: I have no spare usb drives nor a usb cd rom but would like to install crunchbang linux on my netbook and was wondering if I could do it with network boot. Run a live cd on my desktop then mount the drive and point to the iso or whatever files needed, then boot the netbook from the network and install via the booted live version. Is this possible? Also what does xjxy mean? Was wondering if there is a livecd that has everything for this already installed. And if there is a way to get a live iso served over the network via pxe.
