Hi, An experimental alpha-2 version of Lubuntu Saucy can be installed on a drive with at least 4 GB. The drive is rather small, but there is enough space to test Saucy on your computer.
I have made a compressed image for Lubuntu-fake-PAE Saucy Alpha-2 installed system, that can be downloaded and tested in any standard intel/amd computer, that can run 32-bit code (including Celeron M and Pentium M, but excluding pre Pentium 2 CPUs and UEFI systems). It can be downloaded according to this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstalledSystemFakePAE and installed (running with superuser privileges) zcat dd_saucy-a2-installed-system_4GB.img.gz | dd bs=4096 of=/dev/sdx The Saucy alpha-2 version has fake-PAE and htop, and a simpler touchpad-toggle TT. It is too early to get touchpad-indicator and ubuntu-tweak. As long as there is free space, it is possible to update/upgrade the system. It will be a rough ride until the official release, but you can always re-install from the compressed image file. See the attached screenshot. Please check if you also have the following bugs: 1. The standard hotkeys PrintScreen and alt+PrintScreen for screenshots do not work, but the terminal command scrot works. 2. Only a few of the alternatives at the top right corner in the log in work. Most of them are 'dead' now (some of those worked a few days ago). -o- If you try it, let me know the result, good or bad! I'm happy to read about good results, but I learn more from the bad ones ;-) Best regards Nio
