Wellllllllll .... that's a good question!

OK, you cannot "install" Kubuntu if there is not a hard drive, unless you want to install it on a fairly large (4GB+) memory stick, by following Qqmike's tutorial here

But you can "run" Kubuntu from the Live CD -- that is what it is for! Just boot the Live CD of your choice (i386 or AMD/64), and when it is loaded up and you have the KDE desktop, you can use the Konqueror browser, the Open Office applications, the terminal, or any of the standard KDE packages that are found under the KMenu (the button on the lower left of the panel-bar).

Hope this clears it up a little, and welcome!

Thanks for replying to Eduardo dibl.

I'm just a bit confused in what he seems to be expressing, namely, that while booting from the LiveCD he (apparently) is being asked/required (?) to define partitions That doesn't seem like what the LiveCD is supposed to do, is it? Or does the LiveCD "expect" that a HD is present, and actually probes for one.....

Has anyone actually booted a Linux LiveCD on a system that had no HDs in it?

No, look again Snowhog -- he said "trying to install" -- I believe he clicked the "Install Me" button, and that will indeed require that you say "where" on the hard drive.

Yes, that much I knew. Sometimes I read a bit more into a question than maybe I should. :P

If one has successfully booted the LiveCD and are on the Desktop, you do not want to click the Install icon if you have no HDs to install to.

If you want to run a linux system without using the hard drive you should take a look at Puppy Linux. It runs totally in 128 mb ram. I play with it as well as Kubuntu.

Have you perchance downloaded the wrong image - namely, the alternate install CD rather than the live CD?

You can get the disc here:

I think your trying to use the Alternate cd. It does not have a live environment.

If you want to run a linux system without using the hard drive you should take a look at Puppy Linux. It runs totally in 128 mb ram. I play with it as well as Kubuntu.

I have it running on a p166 with 48mg of ram. Works well.

Not sure if I have missed something, but if Eduardo tries to download the Live CD, where would he download it TO?
I would have thought that, with no hard drive, you would have to already have a copy of the livecd. Perhaps obtained from a kind friend who would download and burn the ISO for you?
