hi Leszek, The minimal CD is not for me, it was following on from the email yesterday of someone with a slow internet link. As lubuntu is already small, I thought about doing one without the language packs. I'm okay using the mini-iso and popping lubuntu-desktop on for my instructions. It's one of those things on the "Wish List", to aide those out there who are still on dial-up. Every MB saved is a good saving in download time. There is no real need for the team to divert from other tasks, I suggested using remastersys as it would be within my capabilities :-)
Once Juliene has had chance to catch breath after the UDS it can be added to the 'list of things to do'. As there is a 'work-around' it need not be a high priority. Regards, Phill.
