How would you solve this problem if a temporary buffer is not allowed?

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Hashtable;

public class Solution{
	//brute-force time complexity:O(n^2) space complexity:O(1)
	public static void removeDuplicate1(LinkedList list){
		for(int i=0;i < list.size()-1;i++)
			for(int j=i+1;j < list.size();)
				if(list.get(i) == list.get(j))
					list.remove(j);
				else
					j++;
	}
	//could't keep order time complexity:O(nlogn) space complexity:O(1)
	public static void removeDuplicate2(LinkedList list){
		//sort
		Collections.sort(list);	
		if(list.size() >= 2){
			for(int i=0;i < list.size()-1;){
				if(list.get(i) == list.get(i+1))
					list.remove(i+1);
				else
					i++;
			}
		}		
	}
	//1.keep order 2.time complexity:O(n) 3.space complexity:O(n): (worst case)
	public static void removeDuplicate3(LinkedList list){
		Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
		//lookup hashtable to delete repeat elements
		for(int i=0;i < list.size();){
			if(hash.containsKey(list.get(i)))
				list.remove(i);
			else{
				hash.put(list.get(i), "");
				i++;
			}
		}
	}
	private static void printLinkedList(LinkedList list){
		Iterator it = list.iterator();
		while(it.hasNext()){
			System.out.print((Integer)it.next()+" ");
		}
		System.out.println();
	}
	public static void main(String[] args){
		LinkedList list = new LinkedList();	
		list.add(6);list.add(2);list.add(2);list.add(3);
		list.add(1);list.add(4);list.add(2);list.add(3);
		list.add(7);list.add(2);list.add(2);list.add(10);
		
		Solution.printLinkedList(list);
		Solution.removeDuplicate3(list);
		Solution.printLinkedList(list);
	}
}

2.sort：time complexity：O(nlogn) space complexity:O(1), 输出元素为排序后结果

3.hashtable：time complexity：O(n) space complexity:O(n), 输出元素保持原有顺序
