...You already have a running kernel and a working network connection. Why not use them to get your new linux running directly? Many distributions already provide a network install but getting the installer to run on your old linux proves tricky because you depend on local libraries and tools.

You unpack a minimal set of tools to a separate directory, you chroot to it and start from a well defined configuration that can get you to your destination.
