Initial test impressions. 1. I know this is an Ubuntu thing but I was initially confused (not hard to do) by the mini.iso install questions about which services to install. I choose none. 2. Script seems a little more polished that the last time I installed. 3. Wow 486meg of repository downloaded after the install of the mini system and its 400+ meg download. Over 800meg download. 4. Script (download of debs) was interrupted by network outage but resumed fine when connectivity restored the next day. 5. Excepted Java License. 6. Ooops! my mistake and PC reboots before script finishes and now X won't start. 7. Re run script and a bit more config happens but X will still not run. 8. Back to beginning with Ubuntu mini.iso install and 800+meg download on my slow flaky connection.
