i have a dell lattitude LS. Tiny laptop. It's old, but does the job (surfing/car). It has no optical drive, cannot boot from USB but i do have an external FDD drive for it. BUT no other machine with an FDD on it. DOH!
it was running a stripped out install of XP, but i suspected ubuntu would do a better job of handling the limited resources (P3 500, 256mb RAM).
Following this guide;

It booted from the TFTP server, loaded up the netboot installer and is currently downloading the archives. YAY, it worked.
That is all.
