</div>If you have another computer on the network, you might consider a<br>
network install, if your BIOS/NIC support PXE.<br>

</div>You can try and add to the grub menu the kernel and initrd of the Ubuntu<br>
installation, and if all goes well that should do it. Copy the files to<br>
/boot, duplicate an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst, change the kernel and<br>
initrd lines to point to the files you copied, and add to the kernel<br>
command line whatever's that in the Ubuntu installer (you can find this<br>
out e.g. by looking at their network installation instructions, if you<br>
can't look at the boot files on the DOK). However, if you have a problem,<br>
you won't be able to boot to some rescue CD to solve it. If it's an<br>
important machine, I think I'd first make sure I have some other boot<br>
device with useful rescue media.<br>
