I see that xubuntu > need 1.5 Gb of disk space! It might be ok. I have currently a bit under 3GB used on my efika machine, which has 650MB in /home, and has in addition of xfce, apache, postgresql and asterisk, 3 full compiler suites, and a bunch of libraries installed. So, i am unsure if you can go down to 1.3GB or not.
Maybe you should just install a base system first, and then install xfce by hand ? Also remember to count some disk space for swap space. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
