Hi Phill,
if you in a desperate need of a minimal install cd I can build one. But
how should it look like ? A ubuntu minimal CD with all the deb packages
using debian installer ? Or a minimal LiveCD with only lxde as a desktop
that allows you to install the system with a cli installer ?
The first one is a little pain of work. The second one not so much, as I
already have a cli installer written for zevenos-neptune (debian based)
that will also work flawessly on lubuntu if the dialog package is
installed. And btw. I have build my own "remastersys" kind of tool
called remaster-kit that also works flawlessly (yes I had bad
experiences with remastersys) with lubuntu (as long as you know
something about cli and chroot usage). As it is a kind of dry topic. I
made a small video showing both tools.
Here is the link: http://blip.tv/file/3612824 (Including a link for the
source and deb)
All in all I would think making a 'real' minimal InstallCD might be a
better solution as it supports more installation methods and special
configurations for LVM and encryption.
Have fun ;)

Hi Julien,
I know that you do not have time to make a minimal iso, however having
chatted to some 'nice people' it appears that I (or anyone) should
actually be able to do it. It's called remastersys and how it works is
at http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys I've no need to bore you
with how it works, simply put - It takes your installed system and
creates an iso with an md5 checksum.
Once you have (all) stopped laughing, according to the wiki entry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remastersys You can make it CLI
install. So, I'd follow the minimal install instructions onto a
partition & then make the iso (in theory). Well, I'm willing to give
it a try if you think it may be of help.
On a slightly different note, but to save me posting another email to
you. I was asking ibuclaw about why the cd would fail self test, yet
pass the other md5checksum test. Ibuclaw asked when you would be
about, he was running through some stuff with me but it was way over
my technical knowledge. He said that he could have a chat with you. As
you know, Iain has already provided one patch to lubuntu (pcmanfm) and
I count him as one of the 'nice people' I chat to on the 'official'
ubuntu area.
If you keep an eye on ##ufbt you will be able to see if he is logged
on (yes, I have been given permission for you to stalk him on there).
Regards,
Phill.
