[ Ubuntu-BD ] Hello everyone?

[Russell John]

Hi Ammar bhai, nice to hear from you.  Hope you're doing well.

You can try the same way you did it on Mandriva.  I'm describing the
process below, though I don't guarantee it to work.  Try it and let me
know if it worked or not.

1) Create a new directory where the ISO file will be mounted:
sudo mkdir /mnt/hardy

2) Let's mount it:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso /mnt/hardy

3) Now copy the kernel and initrd images from /mnt/hardy and copy them
to /boot (file names: vmlinuz and initrd.gz)

4) Now edit the bootloader. I'm assuming that you're using GRUB, but
if you use LILO, then let me know.
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
or
sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

Add the following:

title Hardy Install
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.gz

5) Reboot your system and choose Hardy Install from the boot menu.

Let me know if it works or not.
