+# ''(Optional: Use ISO as repository)'' Normally, Ubuntu's netboot installer tries to download as much as possible from the online repositories. With an [http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Apache_HTTP_Server Apache HTTP Server] running, you can serve the mounted installation ISO as a local repository to save time and bandwidth. Create a symbolic link to the mounted ISO in Apache's www directory so that the ThinkPad has HTTP access to it.
