[SOLVED] Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro without usb or dvd

[power2015]

I really need to install linux on a MacBook Pro but i don't have a dvd or usb. What can i do?

 

[Eximo]

Not much. Do you have any other computers?

There appears to be some support for PXE (network) booting and installing Linux that way, but you will need another computer to act as the server.

No dvd disc, usb stick or other computer? Sounds like a riddle.

You won't install linux on bare hardware if you don't have any of those. Virtual machine is your only choice here.

I could be wrong. but if you mount a ubuntu DVD ISO to a virtual drive, will it give you an install option that pre-loads the files to the hard drive within the existing OS?

I could be wrong.

Indeed, you are wrong.

If you "really" need to install Linux on your computer, go spend a few bucks on a USB drive(I recently bought an 8GB USB Drive for $6), download a linux distro of your preference and rock and roll. That is going to be the easiest way to accomplish your goal.
