Hello all.

i'm trying to install Ubuntu 10 from a usb to a server of mine.
the server doesnt have a cd-rom drive, so i picked up Unetbootin, and put
ubuntu 10 on it.

i can boot fine from the usb. the problem arises, when after a few steps
into the instalation, it gives me a message saying it cant find a cd rom
drive, and it might need it to install aditional files.

i can select an option to advance, and give the location of the cdrom
manually.

im now at a screen where it says "detect and mount cd-rom"
and it allows me to write the location for the "device file for accessing
the cd-rom"

what i must do so that i can continue installing from usb? is it something
im missing?

i have previously installed ubuntu on other machines, without this problem.

the server im using is a hp proliant g5.

many thanks in advance.

Regards

Bruno Marques
