Installing from another linux but without USB drive nor CD ROM
Hello,
I own a CL56 (laptop) with a dual boot "windows legacy" / "ubuntu hardy" / ...
on the remaining space I'm trying to install Archlinux (for a "trial" boot system 
)
My clamshell is far too old to boot on USB drive and my CD ROM player just melt last week, so I have to install it from Ubuntu (or windows).
So I installed Unetbootin and ...
- dlded 2009.08/archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-i686.iso
on Unetbootin
- chose (x) diskimage [ISO] /path/to/archlinux-2009.08-netinstall-i686.iso
- selected Type : HDD, Drive : /
rebooted and :
Got a kernel panic and a stupid error about a CD ROM not found !
forii, wikis etc. seems to have contradictory advices, that's why I'm going back to the source.
But the real question is not : how to use unetbootin but : how to install archlinux from another distrib (ie ubuntu)
