instlux on windows xp

I decided to install ubuntu on my laptop — it doesn’t have a cd or floppy drive so I decided to try instlux. When I ran the installer it caused my machine to reboot and then popped up with an uninstaller… I tried reinstalling a few times with no luck. I then did a little research and figured out the problem was with the boot.ini file.

Fix: I had to change my boot.ini to include this is as the last :C:\grldr=”Ubuntu 6.06 installer”

After that the install worked perfectly accept at the very end the screen went black and just had 2 gray boxes on it. After waiting 5 minutes, I hit the enter key — the system restarted and worked like a charm
