This is a quick summarise of the different type of installation, up-to-date with 11.10 :
By using desktop ISO : Installation done using Ubiquity + a live session, by copying the image of the CD into the system. It's the recommend way for testing and installing Lubuntu. Note that using the live session or the "Install only" mode will do teh same result, just using less memory. By using alternate ISO : Installation using debian installer type. No live session available. Design to install Lubuntu on everything, especially if the Ubiquity or the live session is not supported. You can do the same with the command line, by using "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop", on a minimum Ubuntu installation (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Install_an_Ubuntu_command-line_system) Minimal installation : Only on a command line system, just install the lubuntu-core by doing "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core". It should install only core components of Lubuntu + the artwork. I would suggest to also install lxdm or lightdm to have a graphical login manager. As you can see, the --no-install-recommends is not necessary since 11.10. It can be used for people who wants minimal depends, but you have to be carefull, because sometimes some recommended packages are very useful, and so not installed if you use --no-install-recommends. I don't think we need other type of installation, unless I miss a use case :) Regards, Julien Lavergne Le 12/28/2011 07:28 AM, Phill Whiteside a écrit : > Hi Hùng, > > an apology from me. > > We will get it updated to the alternate ISO.
