Install Ubuntu Linux over the Internet with the help of a Mac
This is the second time I've had to point out that a hint that has been posted, ISN'T a Mac OS X Hint, I'd like to suggest that if this keeps up, perhaps the site should be renamed.

Perhaps I shouldn't ever run a hint about Safari then either, correct? Because, really, Safari isn't OS X...nor is Firefox or Pages or Numbers or Keynote or Aperture or iPhoto. But we run hints on all of those things, and many more that aren't specifically "Mac OS X Hints."

Regarding 2, please remember this is not a service by expert professionals. I do acknowledge in the hint itself that dhcp is probably not needed, but that is how I managed to do it, cleanly and easily, after spending more time than I would have wanted googling about how to use my Mac to serve a netboot image. For me, it served the purpose so was good enough. Edited on May 06, '10 01:38:23PM by elmimmo

I guess I was under the impression that people come to this site to learn. Evidently what they want is the answer to "What button do I push?"
