install without usb - jerryemerydelacruz - 08-13-2015

i have ubuntu currently installed and need to install linux lite without benefit of a usb or cd, in otherwords, it has to be installed from a down loaded file without resorting to a boot from a usb or cd.  Is this possible.

What is the PC?

You could look at this for ideas:

Pull the hardrive and use a computer that has what is needed for install.
Then reinstall the hard drive back into the computer when install is done. The kernel will reconfigure for the different hardware on boot.

Linux is not windows. i've done this before on other Linux installs. Swapping hard drives from one computer to the other. Only problems may be wlano0 and /etc/fstab at the most. But since this is a fresh install. I would not sweat even that.

I concur with rokytnji.  That should work.
