The other question this poses is, is it really necessary to have a graphical installer as the default for Lubuntu? I just thought I'd ask the question, I personally have no qualms installing by either method. I understand the rationale for both having a graphical installer and using the Ubuntu default installation method but if it's going to go against one of the main functions of Lubuntu it might be worth considering the text based installer as the default? I just thought I'd throw it out there so all ideas are discussed, obviously, for 11.04 this is not going to happen but if the memory requirements continue to build I think having this brought up now would be useful to think about.
