Plop should work :-) If not there are other methods: 1. Start from Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (and update/upgrade). You find iso files listed with sizes in Gibibytes and can download them here: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.1/release/ 2. Install a small image and then install the meta-package lubuntu-desktop a. Start from the Ubuntu 14.04 mini.iso that you find via http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/trusty/ according to the description at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall b. Install via a tarball with OBI-9w You can install http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/9w/obi_Trusty-nonpae-txt5-9w.iso according to the description at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w/Manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w/ScreenShots Best regards Nio -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
