Just put the CD in a nearby PC and do this (for Windows):

Start > Computer (possibly "My computer" or click "My Computer" on the desktop)

Right-click on the drive that has the CD in it and click "Share...".

Click "Advanced Sharing".

Check the box marked "Share this folder" and name the drive appropriately, we'll assume you've named it "D".

Click "Ok".

Now, assuming that PC that you are sharing the CD from is called "Fred"....

Go to your Netbook...

Start > Run...

Type "\\Fred\D\" and click Ok.

You may be prompted for a password if your desktop PC requires it. If you have a username and password type them like this:

Username: \\Fred\Username
Password: **********

If you use a blank administrator password (general login) on the Desktop, type:

Username: \\Fred\Administrator
Password: <>

Now run the install command from the folder. This is similar to how you'd have to move the .iso file, but skips the making of the .iso and saves both time and hard drive space.

Questions, let me know.

BTW these instructions are for Windows Vista.

Please please please use a condom.
