[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu compressed ISO file?
Currently lubuntu 10.04 is available as an ISO file from http://lubuntu.net. I have a slow broadband connection so would it be possible for you to offer a compressed version of the ISO in the .ZIP file format? The ISO file is 521MB, so if you compressed it into a .ZIP file, what will the new file size be? 500MB? Any decrease in file size is good. -- This message was sent from Launchpad by the user ryan14 (https://launchpad.net/~ryan14) using the Contact this team link on the Lubuntu team page.

Most of the iso is already compressed, not sure we will gain many space. If you have a slow connection, you should try the bittorent file, to be able to stop and resume the download when you want.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu compressed ISO file?
ZIP doesn't do a fabulous job of compression, Bzip will get the data significantly smaller. Hosting both files will require more storage on the server side and essentially double the space needed to store the same info. If space is a luxury then I'd say do it, otherwise you may have to bite the bullet for an extra 12Mb. Set the download running overnight and go to bed, the file will be downloaded when you wake up :) On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 12:16 PM, ryan14 rya...@mail.com wrote: Currently lubuntu 10.04 is available as an ISO file from http://lubuntu.net.

It's included in the iso, if you want to remove them, you need to generate another iso.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu compressed ISO file?
i was thinking possibly down-loading the minmal.iso, and then doing the desktop install form that. It *should* be smaller in terms of data downloaded ?

Yes as you will only download what you need instead of the full OS which may contain files and apps you do not need On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 3:35 PM, T.Beemster c...@tbeemster.nl wrote: On 05/11/2010 04:18 PM, Phillip Whiteside wrote: i was thinking possibly down-loading the minmal.iso, and then doing the desktop install form that.
