I can't put the linux I want on the computer that has the cd drive. It's only 256 megs and the OS requires 512. I want to put it on the computer that DOESN'T have a cd drive. That one CAN handle it, since it has a gig of ram. Also, I want the gui. I'm not a cmd prompt person. IS there a way to install it on the other computer WITHOUT a CD or not?<br>

If it cannot run the "live" ubuntu CD because of the memory, try<br>
downloading the alternative CD which is text based install.<br>
