Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu ISO Alpha 0 - testing purpose only
I made a virtualbox vm with 128 M RAM. I could boot into the live system from your CD. Cool! Is there a way to install it on the virtual hard drive? Or is that not ready yet? Let me know. I have lots of machines waiting for this distro once it is ready, so I'll have a lot to test it on.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu ISO Alpha 0 - testing purpose only
Thanks for testing :) I'm not really afraid about the memory usage at start up, it should be near 60 Mo naked. Problem can be when using it :) No installation for now, until bug 497441 is fixed. And it's still build with Lucid, which is still in a very early stage of development :) Regards, Julien Lavergne Le lundi 21 décembre 2009 à 13:58 -0500, Jeff Elkner a écrit : I made a virtualbox vm with 128 M RAM.
