install using ISO and partition w/o cdrom or usb.

hey guys im in a position where i cant get any cdr's to do an install of kubuntu. I have been thinking of unzipping the kunbuntu ISO to a small partition on my hard drive and then using hirens boot cd to load dos and then run the installer from there. or something like that. Im not a complete newb, heck i worked at geek squad, but im really more hardware and windows minded. my dos endeavors ended with windows 3.11. anything you guys can tell me that will allow me to do this simply so i can have winxp and kubuntu....without using wubi and doing the half double os install?

what is the install file on the kubuntu disc that i would have to load?

oh, and i only have wireless. cant do a network install.

IIRC, it would be in /boot/grub/

Ok so, i had some trouble with the partition....it wasnt primary at first. but now i have grub working (grub4dos) and when i load installubuntu it says (like it should, I guess) that it cant find the iso. i dont get the whole /boot directory business. i have the iso in a folder named boot. that is the same thing right?
