My understanding is different although I don't know which of us is correct. For mine if all you're trying to do is avoid Ubiquity then why not just use the alternate installer? To me the minimal installation is just that, the bare minimum. From what I understand the minimum install is aimed at REALLY low end computers or people not wanting to download lots of data over the internet. If you have a really low end computer you only want the bare minimum, if you don't want to download large ISOs why would you want to download all the other stuff anyway? I'm happy to be proved wrong but I just have a different understanding and hoping to clear the issue for both our sakes. -- Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
