Hi,<div>I am having a situation where I can not use a CD or PxE boot or wubi to install.</div><div>I need to necessarily do an http install of Ubuntu.I am basically trying to create a guest OS in</div><div>a virtualization solution and seems some library of GUI is corrupt due to which other options other than http are not working.</div>
<div>Here is what I did </div><div>1) Download ubuntu 10.04 32 bit ISO</div><div>2) Kept it in /var/www (apache2 is running) </div><div>3) renamed it to ubuntu.iso</div><div><br></div><div>and when I reached a stage where installation begins I gave path <a href="http://localhost/ubuntu.iso">http://localhost/ubuntu.iso</a></div>
<div>but I got an error saying any installable distribution not found.</div><div><br></div><div>4) After this I did</div><div>mkdir /var/www/sk</div><div><br></div><div>mount -t iso9660 /var/www/ubuntu.iso /var/www/sk -o loop</div>
<div><br></div><div>and this time during the installation I gave path <a href="http://localhost/sk">http://localhost/sk</a></div><div>I was able to see the contents in browser <a href="http://localhost/sk">http://localhost/sk</a> which you will see in a normal CD.</div>
<div>But beginning installation I got same error </div><div><div>ValueError: Could not find an installable distribution at '<a href="http://localhost/sk">http://localhost/sk</a></div><div><br></div><div>So I want to just confirm if http install is done only this way or some other way.</div>
