Accessing Internet on PC without Hardisk

This trick helped me keep up with my work even when my harddisk had crashed. Using Ubuntu 8.10 ( Hardy Heron) Live CD; Select the option "Try Ubuntu without installing on computer".

If you have a broadband connection; just plugin the LAN connector and start browsing the internet. For storage purposes ( for files for later use ) you can use and USB media like PenDrive/ FlashDrive.

If you have cablenet or LAN net, you can configure the connection and start using the internet. You will hav to do this everytime you boot th machine in this case. So better hiberinate the machine, it will reduce the reconfiguring stuff to great extent.

This is a great idea when you dont have much resources and have an important work to accomplish.
