Need help installing barebones 7.04

You don't need a tutorial to install. Boot from CD, click on "install" and follow the step-by-step procedure.

Thanks Andrea Corbellini, that solved my question.

No i accidenttly clicked soolved problem.

maybe you need to read the instructions for installing he barebones version...it IS a tutoroial and does NOT have an install option...DUH...
i need help with how to install BAREBONES VERSION of ubuntu 7.04, which requires an active internet connection to do but i cant boot from cd awsnd be online at the same time...so still need help big time>

"Barebones Ubuntu" is not something mainstream and common.
I believe you are refering to
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal#barebones
This is quite an advanced task to do, and having just dialup connection would make it really difficult for you. "Barebones" means no graphical interface; you would have to use the command line for all these tasks.

For your laptop specs, you may want to use something like Xubuntu (light version of Ubuntu), or you can give a try with Puppy Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org/).

Thank you, I have all the command lines as I printed out the instructions
last night when a tech on Ubuntuforums advised me to try barebones...I will
be having access to a cable connection later today so will maybe try then to
use one of the other versions or maybe puppylinux. I don't have a cd burner
on the computer in question either so it might be really difficult unless
they send free CDs too.
Thank u again

Pentium III, 256 MB RAM... I believe it is enough to run just Ubuntu, not Xubuntu or Puppy Linux. I still have a copy of Ubuntu 6.06 installed on a PIII 866 MHz, 512 MB RAM that currently serves as storage for video files for me, and it works well. I also installed Ubuntu 6.10 on a PIII 600 MHz, 256 MB for my friends, and it runs at acceptable speed, can play video, and even can play simple 3D games (the PC has an NVIDIA card in it)

Haven't received any solution but fortune smiled upon me. A friend whom sent me a link to download ubuntu also helped me greatly. What i had to do is download a program called ultimate boot disc, burn it to iso form and whip the hard drive completely. Sucess! Did the complete wipe, installed ubuntu and updated it's files thru my ethernet high speed connection.

If anyone should have problems like i did but i know i didn't explain the program name that is under the ultimate boot disc get in touch with me.
